I am getting a little tired of everyone screaming the sky is falling. We haven't even had the debates yet.

1. you know...

after this week i never want to see another poll posted as if it means something.

that means in a few weeks, if kerry is leading by 5 points or down by 4, every one of you who say these polls are meaningless better stay consistent.

there is an even-headed response to these kind of polls and comparing them to the last election, deriding them completely, and taking them as gospel are all far from it.

i'm not sure if this place is schizophrenic or if many are just unsure how to synthesize polling info.
