2. How come he hasn't fallen completely off the charts...

7. $200 million buys a lot of propaganda

Large corporations don't sink a lot of money into advertising because it doesn't work, you know. Why else would there be so many ads for things you can't buy (viagra and other prescription drugs), except to generate a fake demand? Bushco spends the same way on media buys.

6. Wow. That must mean his REAL NUMBERS are at 25-30%

Not that Imperial Pravda would ever let us see such things any more than Original Soviet Pravda would allow the Russians to see the REALK agricultural production figures.

In both cases, it ain't gonna happen!

But this is hopeful news.
