| #10 I routinely lie to Rep pollsters; Dem pollsters I savagely upbraid for wasting my time. |

| #9 The poll was conducted by The Washington Post newspaper and ABC News among a nationwide random sample of about 1,200 adults. Ever read the comments to a WaPo story? They could probably do a poll among Democrats and find out they favor thawing out Lenin and bringing him back. |

| #7 Start a revolution: Lie to pollsters! The late, great Mike Royko exhorted his readers to lie to exit pollsters to make the election night projections go crazy. Politicians make too many choices based on what polls say people want to hear; and the polls are frequently skewed to make it seem that the public is saying what the politicians want to hear. It's a vicious circle. If everybody would tell pollsters politely to bug off, or tell them they're voting for Mike Royko, then the politicians would actually have to start reading their constituents' mail to find out what the voters want. end rant. |

| #6 Ah, the ol' unnamed poll. What did they do, ask around the water cooler? Count blog logs? An overwhelming count of people sitting at my desk would like to take a pole to pollsters. |

| #5 "They really want to get stomped again in November, don't they? " It sure looks that way. Even more than in 2004, when the jackasses ran Road to "Surfdom" Kerry; Obama is in McGovern territory. It's a really REALLY good thing that McCain will win the election because the Senate math is looking very bad indeed. Speaking of which (witch?), how is hiltery's senate re-election campaign going? |

| #4 They really want to get stomped again in November, don't they? Obama is proving that he is charismatic, but an empty suit. |

| #2 oops - I meant to say "as UNcomfortable as they are with Obama" I think their worship of Obama is just relief that there is someone, anyone other than Hillary to throw their support behind. |

| #1 my theory is that he is their only hope. As comfortable as they are with Obama, Hillary is just too freaking crazy for anyone to support. |
