I’m not so sure. 51% of this country are now proven idiots if you go by the polls.
Don't go by the polls; you don't know what question was really asked, nor how the analysis was structured.
I have yet to encounter a person since friday morning that isn't excited about Sarah Palin. As far as the public is concerned, she is the ticket. John who?
“51% of this country are now proven idiots if you go by the polls.”
a) it’s still early (believe it or not - only NOW are most people even beginning to start watching and following things);
b) it depends on which one (of MANY) polls you look at;
c) in this year, like NO other - the polls are wrong.
the secret (or not) is that a vast amount of people lie to these polls (even though they’re anonymous), saying they’ll vote for BHO, but they really won’t in the privacy of the booths.
oh, and d) - it’s important to look at the poll sampling criteria, as far as numbers of people AND the demographics.
Something is very wrong with those poll numbers. I have been closely following the polls. After Obamas speech, where he should have gotten a pretty big bounce, according to the gushing media, McCain actually got a slight bounce. Then McCain picks Sarah Palin. The country goes wild. McCain gets 10 million dollars in donations overnight. The conservative movement finally comes on board the McCain camp. He should have gotten a bounce over that. But instead they are trying to tell us McCain lost 9 points in the polls? It just doesn’t feel right. Polls differing that much in such a short time usually follow something big. Obama lost ground after his convention speech. Where did his huge gain come from? Does this seem odd to anyone else?
