I can't understand Santorum's lousy showing in the polls for the life of me! I have seen and or heard him numerous times and he is right on point and message, I just don't get it.

Unless this is a case like they claim RI is -- a true conservative can't win. I hope he pulls it out in the next 30 days.. he was far superior to Casey in the debate on Russert's show.

Thank YOU!!! You started me contemplating why this is so.

FYI, FNC news said Arnold's poll numbers are up and the money for the Democrat candidate is drying up. Gee! I wonder why that is and if there's a cause and effect relationship here?

Could it be, and this is just an off the cuff thought, that pollsters are not only trying to gin up votes while depressing opposition turnout, but what if the Democrats are using these fake polls as a basis to get donors to give more money?

IF a race is close, Democrat operatives can tell potential donors "hey, just a few bucks from you and we can win" versus telling a donor "please donate even though we're going to lose this one." Republicans are donating because of issues and candidates we believe in. Could it not be, following past examples, Democrats are mostly donating where they think they can win? If they are as self-serving as we believe, this is entirely probable.

Could it be the media keeps saying Democrats are going to win the House or Senate just to get more donations from suckers on the left?

In the John Kerry mode, how do you tell a donor they were the last person to waste $100 or more on a campaign Democrats knew was lost?

I need to keep this in mind but the more I think about it the more it makes some sens
