Every notice that a poll that disagrees with MY opinion is flawed somehow but those polls that agree with my opinion reflect the people's true feelings.

Weird huh?

Like August said, there is only one poll that really matters and that is on the second Tuesday in November and according to the history of that poll about 50% of the people really don't care one way or the other.

No, it's fun to just disagree with you

Using the state of Illinois as a credible vetting body is like using Natalie Wood as a swimming instructor.

Not knowing if this last November elections are a barometer for the electorate's opinion.

And the both of you are correct once it comes to the election.

I made not agree with the Republican candidates on a lot of things but I do agree with Gingrich when he says that attack ads "clutters the ability of the American people to have an adult conversation"

Now it is official. Obama is done. The ultimate authority has spoken, through the Brujo Mayor.

Mexico's Grand Warlock predicted US President Barack Obama would fail to win re-election and two more Latin American leaders would be diagnosed with cancer, in a traditional New Year's forecast Tuesday.
