“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

How to poll dance

Look at what the Washington Times tries to sell today:
After three nights of nonstop testimonials to Monsieur Kerry's charisma, the Rasmussen presidential tracking poll shows him with the same three-point edge — 48 percent to 45 percent — he had when the first delegates trickled into Boston. A Washington Post-CBS News poll earlier in the week showed the president with a two-point lead.

They must have purposely ignored the warning at the Rassmussen site:
Today's results are based upon survey interviews conducted Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Only a small portion of the interviews were conducted following Kerry's speech. Monday's update will be the first based entirely upon interviews conducted following the speech.

Normally I just ignore the Washington Times altogether. But this one I couldn't let slip.
