But to present PPP, which nailed Indiana and North Carolina among others, the closest states of this election, as the second coming of Zogby is a bit disingenuous. Fair enough.

Teezy isn't a troll, but he/she just seems to be a Republican, and oftens makes pretty good and valid points. I agree with Fritz.

The points on his/her comment are all within the bounds of good debate. As one who has had some past "discussions" with Teezy on this blog I would not insinuate that he/she is a troll. I'm glad there are a few Republican supporters who are not intimidated by the posters here and are still willing to post opposing views. Panos:

Tancredo though...augh...he's a one note loser. If the CO Republicans nominate him, then they deserve to lose in a landslide. Maybe Elway would make a good candidate, but it's way too early to tell.

However, one impedient to her would be Barack Obama's overwhelming popularity in Hawaii, and he would surely campaign for whomever the Democratic candidate it and impede Lingle a great deal. The Colorado polls are simple bad news for the GOP. If Owens, the strongest GOP candidate, is behind by double digits, then the GOP has no chance. Perhaps I am wrong and Nevada truly is the weakest Democratic seat..although it is still a bit of a streach to see Reid losing.
