Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Just One Poll, But....

Fox News has a poll showing men are split in support of the GOP 44-44.  That's a "Holy Shit" number.  The GOP has enjoyed large margins among men for decades, which has allowed them to overcome their poor performance with women.  How does the poll measure women's support?  Women prefer Democrats 53-34.  That's a 19 point difference.

Democrats need two things to happen in November: They need angry suburban women to come out and vote Blue, and they need angry, white middle aged men to stay home.  Hopefully, this one poll is a harbinger of things to come.
