Polls don't mean a thing.

Sure they do, especially when it comes to fundraising and suppressing/inspiring the base. And while you can always come up with exceptions (polls are only rated at 95% confidence), they are generally a decent way of measuring a candidate's chances. I just wish they weren't so prevalent, and manipulated by the media. [sigh]

Some polls are a decent way to measure the electorate, and some polls, like the Field Poll here in CA, ALWAYS are more favorable to dems that the rest of the polls. The Field Poll is notorious here in CA for its bias. That's why the liberal media gives it so much attention. :-(
