4. I shot a blog post into the sky....where it fell, I know not I...

[Fred Sanders]

3. Folks know they are not near voting in the General Election, at this point it is about advertising

and who folks see most in the media and the folks know it is all entertainment a year before the voting....of this I have no doubt.

For historical perspective, note who was leading the GOP in late 2011....I think Trump was once for a while after a mass media free ad blitz on his behalf!

5. This is the canary in the coal mine, and we should not ignore it. I understand your point, and you

make a valid point, however, that the leading Democratic candidates in the poll are either in the MOE or slightly behind the leading republican counterparts is troubling in a state like Pennsylvania

When they included bush against Hillary, Hillary does lead bush by +5 which is good, but not good enough I think

They also have Toomey leading in the Senate race. Pennsylvania is a critical state
