That won't change perceptions here . . . 
I know you mean well - but it hurts those of us volunteering if we think we aren't going to have to fight to get the message across every time we knock on a door or pick up the phone.
I don't want anyone who is in this last gasp to try and win this thing thinking - eh? Piece of cake, upside down.
It's been really hard.
We have tried the best that we could - but it's been overall ignored. Our candidate has been ignored. Even at DU we've faced a complete defeatist attitude from other Democratics.
All this will do is skew the poll - it won't give us a feel for what we will need to say to convince that elderly woman in Newark to find a way to the polls next month.
