My prediction of Tammy getting 10% was low. I guess no one remembers how many votes the LOSER gets, so I’m off the hook.

I hope Dizzy has a big bowl of Cheesy Poofs to console him later today.

Polling ain't cheap by any stretch, so why spend the bucks on a race that isn't a race? I would assume it’d be an issue of putting the polling in races that weren’t gimmes.

Maybe they found out that Ellison was more likely to win as a whole and the media doesn't want to deal with the reality for his own beneift. Other than Fine and Lee are nothing but a comical joke to the local voters there: Jesus Freak nazi versus "Republican lite." They could pick someone that was more in synch to the public's interests etc. I wonder why KSTP TV and Survey USA waited until the last moment to publish a poll, regarding the 5th district race?

If Bachmann wins with 4%, then I've <b>really</b> got my fingers on the pulse. Ellison is right at the 50% point I was (privately) figuring.

Not looking to good for Wetterling either I see. I fear the media fueled build-up for the Democrats is going to fall short of expectations tomorrow night!

Some may also say that since SurveyUSA also has Bachmann up 49-42-7 as of Saturday, we shouldn’t rely on ANY of their polls, because how could Wetterling be so far behind? (DISCLAIMER: I’m not one of the people who would say that.)

We’ll know in about 30 or 31 hours, I’m sure.

So?
They did say that. I linked to it – I didn’t say “this is 100% airtight accurate.”

Didn’t know the “rules” were that if you linked to an article, it necessarily meant that you swore it was true on a stack of Bibles.

Or, in Keith Ellison’s case, a stack of Korans.
