W Bring Cal into Play

I expect a better headline from Real Clear Politics than "Boxer Leads Jones by 9." The real information in the poll is that Kerry leads W by only one point - 46 to 45.

The internals are even better - 80% of W's voters are voting for him (as opposed to voting for W because of who his opponent is); Kerry garners only 35% voting for positive reasons. W has more work to do with Hispanics, down 38% to 49%. But Cal looks like the red/blue map from 2000 - W has the rural and suburban areas, the Dark Side has the urban areas.

This poll is not what Kerry needed to see. Too bad.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
