That's a flame? LMAO!! You've obviously not been flamed very much, sensitive one. That poll you gave me I'm quite familiar with. So? An 11-point lead? Whoopee, the incumbent is sitting at 41%. Who sponsored the poll? Why not use the Dem poll from two weeks earlier showing a 17-point lead? Or the Dem polls a little later showing a 9-point lead?

Do you see a couple of trends? 1) The incumbent can't come close to breaking 50%, even in Dem polls, after spending $16 million. 2) If you believe all those polls (which I do not), then the gap is closing rather quickly - 17, 11, 9, and now 7. So you should be talking about Simon's momentum.

If you're going to go back to old polls, why not use the 9 polls showing Simon leading the race?

You're right? No, you're not. You state Simon doesn't have a chance. Yet you have nothing concrete to back up that nonsense. You have an incumbent that has spent heavily and yet cannot break 47%. You have a challenger that has been pummeled by ads and the media who is in a statistical tie in this latest poll. And he just started advertising. And the President of the United States just helped him raise $3 million.

You are so not right. Even if Davis does win this thing, you're just off somewhere in anti-reality world. Yet you'll undoubtedly run around saying how right you were, even if it's a 50-49-1 race. :-) Get a grip.

I see the trends, all right, and I see that without a miracle, or a really good showing from the Greens, Davis has this one in the bag.

And please stop using the term "statistical tie". An 11-point lead does not a statistical tie make.
