Remember, we used these same arguments on this forum before the election, about how polls are false, etc. Look where that got us. In fact, the ABC-Washington Post poll was one of the most accurate generic predictors of the 2006 elections, prediciting a 6-point win in the generic for the Democrats in their final poll (the actual number was 6.5).
I refuse to obey the polls.
I support President Bush.
Is support the war on terror.
Support our troops staying in Iraq.
I am the rhetorical counter insurency.
Being "realistic" is unrealistic.
