The polls remind me of bouncing basketballs. I'm gonna ignore them until after New Years

One can get whiplash looking at the polls on DU. Hillary's lead grows. Hillary's lead shrinks. Sanders winning in New Hampshire. Clinton winning in New Hampshire.....National gap widens and Clinton surges ahead....Sanders narrowing the gap and gaining on Clinton...


Etc, etc, etc...



Right at the moment most people don't give a flying fig about Presidential politics (except for the latest Trumpruoption).

So my own holiday resolution is that I'm not gonna let the polls either cheer me up or drag me down. And as much as possible avoid the temptation to avoid clicking on posts related to those paradoxical little things....The real action starts after the holidays are done.

So then I'm right about being wrong.
