Wisconsin Recall Prospects Dimming
Scott Walker’s approval numbers are continuing to improve, making the prospect of recalling him look much tougher for Democrats than it did during the spring.
That’s good news (unless you ascribe to the Althousian Theory of Scott Walker Recalls), but don’t forget: polls suck. And just because a poll says Walker’s looking good now doesn’t mean he’ll still look good three months from now.
Not poll-tistically, anyway. Stuff happens. Poll respondents are fickle.
One more time: polls suck.
Still, let’s stipulate that Walker’s numbers will keep getting better and that he’s a lock to win a recall election if his opponents can gather the more than 9,000 signatures a day, every day for 60 days, through the holidays and the dead of Wisconsin’s winter.
And let’s further stipulate that even his most ardent opponents know this.
They’ll still go ahead, because what an awesome database!
*Get it? “Wisconsin Recall Prospects Dimming.” Because the population is aging, see, we can’t remember things as well as we used to, generally speaking. Come on! It’s funny!

I thought polls blew.

No, polls suck. It’s entirely the opposite direction.
