I'm calling the American election for Bush simply on strength of Saturday Night Live's complete failure to criticize him harshly in the first post-debate episode. They were strenuously 'fair' towards both candidates.
Before the primaries, Gore appeared on an episode and used a curse word. I said to myself: "He must be planning on dropping out of the race." The next day he announced he was not running.
There are few truly reliable cultural barometers, but in my experience, this has been one of them.
