[A Broken Glass Republican]

No...I am accusing them of spreading propaganda in support of their favorite candidate.

I REFUSE to believe that ANYONE has really thought McClintock could ever win this race. But then again, I am a Realist.

"I REFUSE to believe that ANYONE has really thought McClintock could ever win this race."

You can believe what you will, but I'm sure there are quite a few of those voters that comprise his double-digit support that disagree with you. But hey, they're all liars, right? Or they're all deluded, right? We all know that only the moderates win, right? Everything else is fantasy and not "reality" right?

They think McClintock can win because they keep reading stuff like this nonsense -

"The candidate portion of the same poll contained good news for state Sen. Tom McClintock. While exact numbers were not released, those familiar with the survey described the results as having McClintock “within the margin of error” of being tied for first with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cruz Bustamanate. Such a split would probably fall in the 25 percent range for each candidate.
These results could prove to be a huge break for McClintock and bad news for Schwarzenegger. But for the senator to benefit tangibly from this closely-held private survey, the numbers will have to be released or confirmed by one or more public surveys. One private poll will not change the current “two-man race” perception of most pundits and many voters. But if new, soon-to-be-released polls also show McClintock closing in on the lead, the “conventional wisdom” of recent weeks would be shattered, opening an entirely new phase of the campaign."

They would rather believe "Private polls" with unreleased numbers than to look reality in the eye.
