Poll says JKB

JKB leads JP by a 46% - 32% margin, with 22% undecided says a Survey USA poll. The margin of error is 4.8% The T.V.-station-sponsored vote surveyed 436 Likely (R) voters and found that JKB leads in every
age group,
income bracket,
region
and
urban/suburban/rural section.

He leads in the
Conservative vote,
male vote,
any college vote
graduated college vote and
post-college training vote.

He trails by
1% in the chick vote, and
4% in the no-college education vote.

Petro wins the moderate and liberal GOP vote. In order to have the slightest change at victory, Petro must win 18 of every 22 (80%) independent voters to have even the smallest chance of pulling ahead. Since the independent usually splits between 50-50 and 70-30 one way or the other, Petro is pretty well doomed. A 66 - 23 split leaves Petro losing by a 53 - 46 margin.

SurveyUSA's methodology convolutes its poll techniques in a phrase only a poll-junkie could love

In theory, with the stated sample size, one can say with 95% certainty that the results would not vary by more than the stated margin of sampling error, in one direction or the other, had the entire universe of respondents been interviewed with complete accuracy.

Translated into plain English this means that 95% of the time, the poll is 100% accurate, within the margin of error. 5% of the time, Daffy Duck might win.

Here's, instead, to hoping for a Bugs Bunny/Donald Duck dream ticket. Bugs is a character, which a President needs to be, and Donald is the perfect VP: he's less prone to rage than Daffy, more prone to hard work and a family man at that since he mentors his 3 nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

Black voters flee Dems

A new Democrat Poll shows Maryland Republican, Michael Steele, getting as much as 44% of the black vote in his run for the US Senate seat of Maryland's Paul Sarbannes.

When Steele is matched up against a generic DNC candidate, he gets 22% of the black vote, and in the '02 election he received 13% of the vote. In all three cases he is trending ahead of GWB by 2%, 11%, and 33%, respectively.

The WaPo got a copy from the Democrats. The number of those polled was 489 but no margin of error was mentioned. Watch for more of the same to happen in Ohio. Almost persuaded, but the trending is hopeful.

MLB opener: Indians to lose 6- 4

Tonight the Cleveland Indians take on the ChiSox in the opening game for MLB.

I predict the Indians will lose by a score of 6 - 4. The SouthSiders have added a pitcher and JimThome as a slugger. Since Thome played so long for the Indians, he will be motivated both to beat his old team and having spent most of his career hitting AL pitching, he will play like a fish-in-water.

CBS has a way better setup. ESPN blows in MLB scoring

Wacky predictions:
1) One fan will be arrested for streaking.
2) Illegal Immigrants will riot.
