Informal Election Poll

Saturday morning, I drove past a group of kids standing on the corner of Weems Road and Veteran's Parkway. They were hopping up and down, shouting, and holding up signs that said "Honk if you're for Bush!"

Nobody honked.

Saturday mid-afternoon, I drove past a group of kids outside the Democratic party headquarters on Macon road. They, too, were hopping up and down, shouting, and holding signs... the only difference being that their signs said "Honk if you're for Kerry!"

Three people honked.

So, based on my phenomenally un-scientific research, we can deduce either:
a) John Kerry will win Tuesday's elections....
b) Likely voters tend to sleep late....
or
c) Bush supporters find horn-honking to be tacky.

Sadly, my informal research probably isn't any less accurate than the pre-election polls are. Consider this... pollsters don't call people on wireless phones. Sure, only about 3% of the population has given up on land-line phones altogether... but in an election that's expected to be one of the closest in US history, 3% is a pretty big chunk of the electorate.
