1594 Hillaryous

Pollsters are always trying to get at the truth. What do people really believe underneath all the partisan bickering and hype? And more importantly, how are they likely to vote when it comes to election time?
Especially when the news media hyper-exaggerates every issue, it's hard to tell how the people themselves really feel. That's often why elections come down to the silent folks in the middle. The noisiest of the noisemakers on the left or right, because they capture the most media attention, seem to be the decision makers, but it’s the folks in the center that really tip the scales.
It only takes one straw to break a camel's back man.
Or one straw poll.
So a poll taken recently is very telling. It asked folks to rate how they felt about various national political figures. Of all the major figures, you'll never guess who came away with top honors. Hillary Clinton. Yep, Hillary. 64% gave her a "very favorable" or "mostly favorable" rating.
Funny how folks seem to feel when there's no current vilification campaign going on. The poll also indicated the Center is relatively centered about other stuff as well. Despite liking her so much, only 34% said they thought the country would be better off if Hillary was President. 47% said it would be about the same. 29% said it would be better if John McCain were President.
And there's the indirect truth revealed by the poll—34% on the Left, 29% on the Right, and 47% in the Center. Forget about breaking a camel's back, looks to me like we got enough straw to make a nice load of bricks.
And without the partisans, we'll be the artisans.
Maybe we can use those bricks to build a fine new House.
America, ya gotta love it.
