Read the following, obviously no matter how the OP was phrased, he erroneously thought today's Zogby poll would show McCain in the lead..

In general, they are what we like to call...."mentally challenged."

Zogby has been all over the place this cycle. I don't even bother checking his stuff anymore. But this is an obvious outlier when you consider all the rest of the polls.



This is a one day poll, which are extremely sensitive to volatility. Hence why it would have McCain up narrowly when, just a few days ago, it had Obama up significantly.

Call me when Zogby starts weighing with some sense.

P.S. I am the only one who thinks Matt Drudge's desperate attempt to spin some McCain comeback is just pathetic?

Thank You - TY
Thank You, TY is a term commonly used in chat rooms and message boards. Thank you is also abbreviated sometimes as TU. Below is an example of how this could be used in chat.
User1: I'll give you a copy of mine.
