I fail to see how Herman Cain is a "troll," or how someone who likes him is a "troll." I'm here in OH, I attend party meetings, am on the central committee for a major county (usually THE swing county for Ohio, given that the north goes Dem and the south Rep), and can tell you that there is no fantastic Palin love here among the grass roots. They don't dislike her, but she has no more clout or appeal than many others---unfortunately for you, including several you named. Herman Cain came to Dayton and gave a rousing speech and made a lot of new supporters.

This notion that anyone who isn't on the Palin bandwagon somehow is a troll really needs to end.

And while reworking PPP's poll numbers is fine, keep in mind people played all sorts of games with poll numbers in 2008, especially with Dem/Rep registrations in "early voting" states and took a beating when the real vote occurred. It is reasonable to assume that Republicans will vote R and that they don't like Obama, but in one of our MOST conservative districts in Montgomery County on election night, fully 1/8 voted Obama---a district that should have been 99% McCain. So assumptions aren't always accurate.
