Will Time Zones and herd instinct make Kerry a winner early?
I know this may sound stupid in a way, and it IS late here but I got to looking at the LATIMES EV map and it suddenly occurred to me that with Four Time zones and the constant media coverage, as well as the basic human instinct to back a winner - I'm wondering if all these concepts could collide to create a potential for Kerry winning early AND continuing with a LANDSLIDE..

I went and played around with the east coast states a bit and figured out that if Kerry took most of what they said he could, where he has leads, that by the time the media reports a win in states sweeping east to the edge of Illinois that he could concievably WIN already or be so damn close that the rest of the US population would rush to secure the win for him, based on the old "Be part of the Winning team" instinct..

and I believe that It didn't even involve OHIO to do it..

What do you think, am I nuts or should I go to bed?

GO play with the LATIMES EV Map and lay the time zones over it and see if what I'm saying makes any sense at all..

Besides, that map is addictive

LANDSLIDE FOR KERRY! and EARLY!
