I seriously think we should consider a quarantine of all poll discussion and postings into a separate area on the site...I get sick to my stomach riding these polls up and down, and everytime I feel a little momentum and good Kerry juju come back its squashed by some poll, or even the rumor of an impending poll
this is some serious chicken little shit here. we're in the 4th quarter and spend half our time worrying about what the scoreboard says, instead of working our butts off. this is the time, here and now, we can't let mainstream media and "conventional wisdom" destroy us.
we need to do the footwork. not fret about polls or bitch about the way the campaign is being run (more below the fold)
this sentiment has been flying around a little lately and I for one think we could be a lot more productive than we are...its impossible to stay focused when every other post is about some poll that suggests impending doom
i think the time has passed that polls are helpful in any way to the foot soliders (us)--we know what the battlegrounds are, we know what needs to be done, so maybe we could use our time on the site more effeciently...use it to give us every possible chance to win this fucking thing...not fret about what "might" happen...
I have tried personal willpower, avoiding any posts that mention polls, but I am completely powerless to change my own behavior...
