Good too see you returning to your old ridiculously overconfident self.
Posted by: djs at November 2, 2004 2:08 PMActually, I think this may be due to the large number of military voters on Guam; active-duty military are strongly in favor of re-electing Bush.

Posted by: oj at November 2, 2004 2:32 PMThese results cannot be meaningful in anything but an advisory sense. Votes have to be assigned to a slates of Electors to determine the outcome of the Presidential race. Americans do not vote for the President - the Electors do that.
Posted by: Earl Sutherland at November 2, 2004 2:54 PMSheesh. If you are in the military, you by no means necessarily switch your registration every time you move. In 2000, Bush beat Gore in Guam by ~2000 votes. He beat Kerry by ~10000 votes. What does it mean? Jack squat, since it's just a meaningless straw poll.
