Polls are for Dogs
So I wrote this great post about the newest Ipsos poll and then I lost itIt was really good it had good analogies; it mentioned one of my favorite books 100 Hundred Monkeys by Robert Mason Lee. It argued about why we lost the last election and why the polls right now do not matter.
I lost it because I tried to check the spelling and I had one word wrong, or so I thought.
I think perhaps it would be better write in Word and then paste to publish.
How do most bloggers do it?
What is the preferred method of writing?
Any advice to a relative newbie would be appreciated.
Oh, yeah and about the great missing post, I might try to recreate it but maybe it is better gone. Then I can fool myself about how well written it really was.
Basically it said.
We screwed up.
We knew it.
Canadians knew it.
We are not ready to come back.
The polls are telling us that Canadians know that too.
When we are the polls will tell us that as well.
In the meantime the higher Harper goes in the polls just means the more the distemper in the press is setting in and Harper is in tough. People do not want an election, they are telling the press that, telling Liberals that.
Hopefully Jack Layton is listening as well.

Ipsos predicted a 12% spread in the elections for the COnservatives. It was 6%. The only consistently reliable polling firm is SES. Cut any lead Ipsos reports for the Cons in half and you might be close.
Ouch, I feel your pain. I've lost a few posts myself. A few were very lengthy and, if I don't say so myself, very good. Its always a shame.
I was thinking of going the Word route myself. Certainly would help with the spelling errors.
And strippers.
We all are aware that, Canadians only want an election when the Liberals are ahead in the polls.
