Should DU not allow posts about polls until Nov 2?
All these polls that show Bush ahead have proved to be a bunch of crap. They're polling way too many Republicans vs Dems. They're not polling cellphone voters or the young. We're just needlessly allowing Rove and his corporate whores to depress us.
Maybe a better solution to articles about polls be regulated into one blog like the "Guns in the News" deal in the JPS forum.

2. I am so glad I found the "hide thread" thingie. All polls go there for me
I know the polls do mean something, but they can be changed by NOT harping on them. Why some people here seem so proud to only display the really negative ones over the "even" ones is disturbing to me. I'm not sure about the mentality of these people?

8. Yes! Let's bury our heads in the sand!
What's wrong with posting poll results? The rest of the nation sees them, mightn't it be a good idea for us to discuss them, too?
