22. The issue is the fact that polls are the ONLY thing cited
Polls are fairly useless, even now, especially in Iowa. They're boring. I am interested in politics because of how it affects people's lives and the world, not in the name of a sporting event. Polls are merely sports stats, and it's all they talk about on TV. Why do you feel it necessary to emulate the MSM? I would much rather read about policy ideas, speeches, and interesting campaign stories. Instead, it seems that poll threads are what you and other Clinton supporters like to do best, as part of the "She's inevitable" meme. Sorry, it's boring, AND it's meaningless. Just ask John Kerry, who I believe was polling 5th at this time in 2003.
