"Surely Savage should know this"
I am sure he does. I was just talking in general about online polls. It's fun to take a liberal poll opposite of what they expect. DU does the same sort of thing. Could be they are hitting his poll.
And it's not April so he can't say April fools. I guess if Savage were serious he would form an "exploratory" committee first like all the other prospective candidates seem to be doing these days.
