The site www.electoral-vote.com is a great resource for looking at polls and how the electoral college would be affected in battleground states. The webmaster is clear in his support for Kerry but reports the polls as is, without making any judgements on his maps.

Unfortunately, access to the site has been spotty for the last day or so. Why? From the site:

The site has had technical problems repeatedly in the past several days and has been down several times. I didn't want to discuss this, but I don't want anyone to think the problem was an incompetent hosting service. Just the opposite. The site has been subjected to a full-scale, well-organized, massive attack with the clear intention to bring it down. The attackers have tried repeatedly to break in, but the server is a rock-solid Linux system which has stood up to everything they threw at it and hasn't crashed since I got it in May. While our troops are fighting and dying to bring freedom of speech to the Iraqi people, there are forces in America who find this concept no longer applicable to America. I don't know who is behind this attack yet (although we are working it), but it is too professional to be some teenager working from a home PC. Given that all the hate mail and threats I get come entirely from Republicans, I can make an educated guess which side is trying to silence me, but I won't say. And I won't surrender to cyberterrorists.

[emphasis mine]

So apparently, he is under coordinated and persistent attack, and Democrats tend to thank him while his hate mail runs almost 100% Republican.

Playing fair seems to be a Liberal value.
