Providing encouragement to the voters inclined to support them. They both realize that in an election which is not going to be a high turnout election, getting your own voters out with energy and enthusiasm could make the difference. They both seemed prepared to me. Gore speaks with more fluency, but that was undercut by his contention. According to a current Newsweek article, Gore is projected to have 242 electoral votes and 188 for Bush with 108 votes up for grabs.
Polls show both ahead.
In my opinion it is a dead heat. My own projection on electoral votes is that both have a lock on 200-220 votes each. The others are close. Any prediction one makes needs to be accompanied by a large margin of error. It may be important if Gore accompanied FEMA and Witt to Texas to the Parker County fires.
