I, for one, am not surprised. THIS is the time to be on the upswing.
And with 9-11 coming up, an important reminder.
Wait a week, but remember that polls influence donations. They will show that this is close right up to election day. Sorry to sound cynical, but increasingly I think it is the media that polarizes America for profit.
IMHO
The latest Gallup Poll has a hidden truth that the MSM and others dont want to talk about.
Working Americans dont have time to devote to politics until you get very close to election day be it the primaries, special, off-year, or Presidential. The 24/7/365 hyper campaigning that sells news doesnt get my attention. But come the last two - three weeks prior to an election I start paying attention.
Proof of statement? Why does the unconstitutional voting reform act only limit political speech to 60 days prior to an election? The criminals who wrote and passed that bill knew when the bulk of the electorate start paying attention to their adds so they focused, very carefully, on the beginning of our political awareness.
