That was an excellent article although I HATE any article that utilizes polls. I am so tired of polling data that it's not even funny. Do we need polls for everything?
I think most of them are inherently inaccurate anyways because they tend to focus on larger population centers which tend to lean more Democratic or liberal and shy away from middle America which tends to be more conservative. According to the polls, the Democrats have swept every issue since time immemorial but the actual votes haven't always fallen that way.
I have a feeling '06 and '08 will go the same way.
Considering that politicians follow polls like vampires follow blood and one president (who shall remain nameless) ran his administration on polls, I think they are here to stay.
Then again, the liberal Dems are really becoming self-delusional, believing in the legends of their own minds...

You know there are actually Democrats who believe that the exit polls, or public opinion polls are more important and legitimate than elections?
Sounds crazy I know! But if I have heard it once, I've heard it a dozen times.
