Ignore the polls--at your peril!
Polls are imperfect. Polls can be (and are) manipulated. Polls don't tell you exactly what will happen in the future.

But polls do reflect trends and point out weaknesses. We need to learn from what these polls are telling us--even though they are telling us a lot of things many here don't want to hear.

At least let us agree the polls are telling us we ALL had better work much harder if we want a real president elected in November.

1. AMEN. Getting folks to volunteer is like pulling teeth.

2. Yes, I agree now - we should be polling ahead to win.
Need to have people believe Kerry will win so polls matter that way.
