In all my time here I've never done my own diary entry, but I found this to be very interesting. Every day I see people across different blogs talking about RealClearPolitics and I decided to look into it's past results (since I really didn't know much about the site prior to this cycle). Using the internet archive, we can view RCP.com dating back to 4 years ago yesterday and look to see how accurate their method of averaging was back then. Every time you see a freeper claiming how RCP's averaging creates a much clearer picture, send them over to this link.

RCP Tracking Composite 10/23/(2000): Bush 45.9% Gore 41.2%
As I've seen some people say in the past, let's keep our eyes on the goal and let the polls say what they wish. We know where we're headed and what needs to be done in these next 9 days. I'm looking forward to joining you all on the night of the 2nd, after voting for K/E!
[Update] Sorry about that had (2004) instead of (2000)
