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

You have a political savvy that few dream of, but it does make sense. Could also explain why the polls are so screwy vs. actual elections.

Interesting theory.

Another thing to ponder.. we learned in 2004 that we can't trust the polls on election day, either.

I think the reason they keep claiming they're going to take the election,
is when and if they don't, it automatically allows them to claim fraud/disenfranchisement
and all of the other hogwash claims they make.

This comes to mind
