Who knew, but the guy that was running the site tabulating poll data for this election was doing so under some degree of anonymity, and how he want's credit for it.
History may never know how many working hours were lost to Andrew Tanenbaum's Web site, www.electoral-vote.com..

The site features a map of the United States in shades of blue, red, pink and white and a tally of which way the electoral college vote will go if the most recent polls are correct. (White is for tied, light blue is for states that are weakly leaning toward Kerry, pink is for states that are weakly leaning toward Bush.)

Updated as the poll numbers from each state arrive, it has become one of the world's 1,000 most popular Web sites and gets 600,000 visitors a day, according to Tanenbaum. At 11 a.m. EST, the site had Kerry ahead of Bush, 298 electoral votes to 231.
Well, you're bubble burst now, Andrew. Thanks for all the insight. Or is it incite?
