"I wonder," (Harry Truman) once said, "how far Moses would have gone if he'd taken a poll in Egypt.... It isn't polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It's right and wrong." From biographer David McCullouch

Very good point. But I don't think Moses was trying to lead the Egyptians out of the Land of Pharaoh. <smile>

For better or for worse, the polls are here to stay. I can barely program my VCR to videotape "Friends" or "West Wing" so I would be a poor fellow on gauging the validity of polls and politics in the twentieth first century. Though, I do have to say, Karl Rove is in the zone. Will it be enough for George W in a couple of years? I dunno....
