I respectfully observe these figures. I would not dispute them at this time. It should be known by now that polls are used as a weapon. This well prior to the actual event, be it American or Canadian politics. Only in the closing week, when the pollsters then become aware that they will have some "splainin' to do," might they present more realistic figures.
I would surmise the pollsters are no friends of the Republicans.
Unless McCain takes ownership of the bailout issue and gets behind the House Pubbies to craft a conservative response to this crisis he’s gonna get dusted by that Marxist regeneration of “Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius.” Period — call in the dogs; the hunt is over. Without swift action, it will not matter what the lovely and gracious Sarah Palin accomplishes at the debate. BTW, you don’t make up ground by castigating your allies in Congress. A “plague on both your houses” is a pathetic response. Palin helped galvanize the base, and McCain is willing to throw it all away. It’s like a bad dream.
