    In a very close election where every vote counts, a systematic attempt to imtimidate voters is worth a month’s worth of attack ads.
    If, on election night, Kerry unambiguously takes Florida (where he’s ahead) and Ohio (where he’s slightly ahead), he and Teresa can start picking out drapery for the Lincoln bedroom.
