enough already

Why do pundits care at all for national polls? Our electoral college system is not a national referendum; each state race polls independently. You can win the popular vote and lose the election, and vice versa. This is a "duh" point which every voting American should already understand, and yet Hugh Hewitt seems to think that because Bush leads in overall polls, he'll win the election. Same for Kos and Kerry. There is no "national zeitgeist" when it comes time to vote. Duh. Duh. Duh.




Oh, and duh.
