Little diary of no consequence at all... and yet:
I wake up. I check the Real Clear Politics latest polls page and I see...
I think... cool!
Rasmussen has moved +1, WaPo is +3 (+1 since last they polled) and Battleground is blue.
Good enough for me.
Movement... all in the right direction.
So, knowing this is a RIGHT LEANING site... and always wanting proof that THEY will see that their chance of of winning the election is still slim to none... I click over to the main page to see how it has affected their poll of polls, but I get this...
Wait. Huh?
Now, I'm obsessive and I know it was Romney +1.3 YESTERDAY before these polls started moving a little in the President's direction.
Hmmm.
Well, maybe they haven't added it to their poll of polls.
So, now I click on the little link and...
Now, I know that this shit means NOTHING in the grand scheme of things and that the only thing that DOES matter anymore is GOTV (obligatory Obama
volunteer link),
but this shit is the foundation of the entire Republican/Tea PArty/Conservative/Anti Global Warming/Anti Evolution/Anti Jobs Report World View:
In a world in which your are not inquisitive enough to click on the link... Romney leads by %1.3.
In a world in which you click the link and ask any questions... it's a tie.
But not to worry... those we are targeting simply aren't going to ask any questions.
Lack of intellectual curiosity. Just one more legacy of the George Bush era.
