History

Is there any such thing as a "swing state" when every state is undecided?

It sure seems that way watching the news.

Al Gore, resplendent in a barong tagalog, made an appearance in Kalihi. What's-her-name Richardson on KITV scored a brief interview with John Kerry. And Dick Cheney will be at the convention center in no time. (God, why are they sending Dick Cheney of all people? He's like the evilist of evil white guys. Who on staff does the research for these stumps? Was John McCain really that busy and did no other moderate Republican want a free trip to Hawaii?)

I guess, according to CNN and CNBC, the election is going to be that close. That Hawaii might actually make a difference. It's enough to crack the national media up.

P.S. Incidentally, I'd like to know where Gore got the barong tagalog and the decision-making behind his wearing it. Such details are the essence of campaigning.
