Forget the Poll: Remember the Lies

[BurtWorm]

There's no substance whatever to Bush's "agenda" as he represented it to the convention last night. It was, as Ralph Nader and so many others have pointed out very clearly, a gaseous effusion. Its effect (if there really was one that the Time poll reflected at all accurately) will be as ephemeral as a fart. Yes, it stinks now, but keep the window open. Remember the lies, and remember, too, that this is America we're talking about. This is the land of forgetting. Every news cycle is a tabula rasa.

1. Remember the 12 pt Time lead Kerry in March. Then 5 Pt Bush lead

One month later. Polls mean nothing after a big political event.

2. That's useful information, about the Time poll in particular.

If there's that much variance in such little time and they use the same methodology, why should anyone take this one seriously?
