Do what’s right, and worry about the polls closer to November 2014

Another conversation I had with myself on Twitter.

Last time it was about The Republican Brand. This time it’s about the lunacy of Republicans — stoked by the media — panicking over polling last week showing Republicans dropping like a stone into a mountain crevice.
