beware of polls bearing gifts

Now, I know some people will talk about polls as if they are the onyl scientific evidence worth squat,blah blah. The fact is, we know that polls have been compromised. They have become means of deception rather than enlightenment.

Yes, it is nice to see these polls come around, but they do not tell us anything we did not know; that Mitt's mask would have to slide off, no matter how gilded it was.

There is one, and only one number that matters 270 on November 6, and there is no replacement for GOTV. We need to drown Mitt, drown him so deep his minions cannot steal the election. We know the MSM will lie,especially as nothijng would be ratings gold like another Florida 2000 or Ohio 2004.

Then we can relax a bit, though acvtually not that much. We have not forgotten the back burner issues. We can tell Obama simply that the same momentum we used against Mitt can be used against him if he listens to Alan Simpson, and that she same people that kept their eyes on the rpize also want those drones stopped.
