I'm HAPPY we're NOT ahead
I'd rather be slightly behind than get too comfortable. screw the polls, but the self-inflicted mental torture of anxiety is something I welcome wholeheartedly. Let the rethugs get cocky...

ABC/Wapo
Chimp:51 Kerry: 46 (51/45)

CNN
Chimp:49 Kerry: 49 (52/44)

Newsweek
Chimp:46 Kerry: 49 (50/45)

Rassmussen
Chimp:49 Kerry: 46

Who cares. I don't.

2. I think it's time
For everyone to use the time they are wasting worrying about the polls (which you can't do anything about anyway!) to volunteer at their local Demo headquarters. At least you're doing something positive there.

4. Even if we were 15% up, it would still be time to WORK LIKE HELL!!
I'm guerilla postering tomorrow night, and the night after that I'm off to the phone bank.

8. If you need guerilla-posting material...
... Sorry, if you already know about these, but they seem to be popular for guerilla postering. A few samples below. Lots more full-size at: http://www.bigpath.net

6. I've always had my suspicions about
polls, especially since I had a little training in polling methodology in college. I've never, ever, ever been polled and neither has anyone I've ever known, no matter how small the acquaintance.

9. I'm happy that I know that media polls are a crock!
otherwise, I would have been freaking out and riding these irrational waves of exuberance/depression that so many others have.

However, if Bush had been way behind and trending down in all of the polls, then I'd be worried that they'd pull something very dangerous. hell, I still worry about what they will try.
