Newland--you are right. I read too fast sometimes and in this case picked up on the completely opposite meaning (I thought that jenny was getting butted by COURAGE's bashers).
I'm on COURAGE's and yours side on this issue, I used to think he might've been a troll but he did make plenty of posts with Bush leading in the EV. The "ostriches" reference was to those pessimist Freepers. My apologies to you both.
Today's Rasmussen poll is a bit worrisome but I was out yesterday and everyplace was packed so it's not unreasonable to assume that lots of people were out shopping. We'll see the real story on Friday.
Sorry, that should've said... the "ostriches" reference is to the "polls are junk unless they show Bush ahead" Freepers, not to the pessimist Freepers.
