Dear Editor: Enough With The Polls, Already!
Dear Editor: Enough With the Polls, Already!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My int’rest in polling is waning:
Who’s winning, who’s losing, who’s gaining.
Tell me where these guys stand—
Who’s a liar? What’s canned?
Give me substance — not horse race-campaigning.
Update: Don Davis has a fun take on the same topic. And the witty and oh so modest Jon Swift has posted the best blog posts of 2007 as chosen by the bloggers themselves. [tags]Presidential Campaigns, Election Humor, Polls Humor, Horse Race Politics, Media Humor[/tags]
True enough, true enough.
Love your poll on the sidebar. Clever.
I say Bravo!
Polls are a lot like pols…changeable and without much value.
Oh, I so agree with you on this subject! I don’t believe a thing that comes out of their mouths. Great limerick!
Like the poem, *love* the poll!
I agree. Though I’m even sicker of mindless coverage of Britney and the rest of the celebrity gang.
