Historic trends may go out the window. Election turnout records could be broken. Presidential campaigns are carefully researched. Polls serve as the "night vision goggles" of politicians looking into the murky, shifting hearts of the electorate. It leaves little uncertainity. But the political world is changing this election year and it is the uncertainity that very well could decide who will occupy the White House next year. Record numbers of new voters have registered and no one's sure how to measure who will turn out on election day. (CNN)
