Polls, Schmolls

Interesting enough, the closest projectors of the Bush win were both right-leaning web sites, ElectionProjection.com and RealClearPolitics.com. Election Projection was off in giving Iowa to Kerry (Bush is leading but no final determination, yet) and Wisconsin to Bush. Real Clear Politics gave Wisconsin mistakenly to Bush (again, in Iowa Bush is leading but has no final numbers). This in contrast to Zogby who had Kerry 311-213.

Yet people will still love the polls. We will still point to the latest ones and pontificate on its importance. Hey, I'm as guilty as the next. We so want to know what's going to happen before it happens. You'd think the last several elections would have cured us, but it won't. We'll still wait for the latest poll to tell us what we should think. "Look, this poll says that most people should buy cats." Ah, well....
