"Do you life in a place called Emerald City?"



Why would you regard as valid match-up polls between Kerry and Bush when most voters (including Democrats) were either focused on Howard Dean or ignoring the Bush/Kerry campaigns altogether? Did you also regard as meaningful the fall match-up polls that showed Howard Dean defeating Bush by single digits and Kerry by double digits?!

Let met get this straight: if I read it correctly Fox News just did a poll that shows Kerry ahead and someone suggests the pollster pushed them in another direction. So now Fox News pollsters are also trying to conspire to get a poll to show Kerry ahead. In other words, if a poll shows GWB ahead, it's great and let's tout it. If a poll (even a more trustworth one done by Fox) shows him behind, it MUST be that it was a push poll, biased or not accurate. It isn't true that "the only poll that counts on election day" -- the only poll that counts (with some) is the poll that shows our guy ahead. Thank God political consultants have it a bit differently (they look at polls where our candidate may be behind and try to fix it).
