But, again: the poll result to which you're referring derives from a hypothetical situation that is, at best, unlikely to be presented to voters.

True.

And the other one is also hypothetical.

In the real race it is at best 50-50 for Schwarzenegger.

In the real race it is at best 50-50 for Schwarzenegger.

Approximately so, yes. Probably a tad better, based on a glommed-together reading of several polls.

In any event, "in the real race," 50-50 or a tad better appears to be a lot better odds than McClintock's, whether I like it or not.

Hey, at least you're not doing what JC is doing, dissembling with such responses as "well all polls are hypothetical" and "oh so Dewey defeats truman."
