Oh, yeah Fox News. Same difference. The "surging" remark is what I was laughing about. More of a Paulite term, but whatever. Romney is SURGING. I saw it on Newsmax!

Are you suggesting polls conducted in April are predictive of anything? Be careful.

I don't think it's accurate that polls are 'meaningless' right now. Do they have strong predictive power? No. But they give snapshots on what is happening and the campaigns, Americans, and donors do respond to these snapshots.

Key hope alive.


These polls are much more credible.

The only one that shows Romney ahead is Rasmussen which is consistently in the tank for any Republican candidate.
