Perhaps we should run a poll (or maybe a series of polls) to determine which 
poll voters rely on.  And after that we should run another poll on which 
demographic group has more confidence on our poll poll.

And when all is said and done and done and done and . . . we can hire Dale 
Courtney to prepare a graph reflectinig the results.

Thoughts?  (or should we runn a poll on it first)

See you at the polls.
