I'm Glad The Polls Suck
#1 - It encourages everyone to work as if we were running the underdog race. We should never fight as if we were already winning.

#2 - It will be that much sweeter when Kerry does win.

#3 - There are never enough opportunities to slap back the so called "Pundits." False polls are a tool in our favor.

2. Yes
But it sure was sweet during May-mid Aug when he was ahead in all the polls. Damn I miss those days.

4. Very good point
And keep in mind:
1) the media wants it to be a horse race (and want trumps fact with these whores);
2) theres lot's of voters that simply will not decide until a couple of days before the ecletion (things could happen!). So polls really can't be that good a predictor yet.

5. If
I'm very glad, too, because if Kerry were way ahead I'd be afraid of what devious, twisted plots the evil Rove mind would come up with to bust his lead...

6. If I wouldn't worry about Diebold, I'd say right on!
But I know the poll lies were perpetrated in 2000 as well...

7. Diebold is my only fear
Otherwise, Kerry walks with the election.

Diebold just means we have to fight for a Kerry victory that rises above the Diebold factor.

Funny - in some future, diebold will become synonymous with cheating. Strange fate for a company that once was known mainly for making ATM machines.
