Maybe you should just let Cali and I duke it out, and you can get back to publishing that special version of the Bible you were working on, eh?

At least I know it will be you and Cali in the motel room and not you and me. Go at it boys, sing it now.

I am not comfortable making any predictions when it comes to politics. In fact, political predictions scare more than anything. The two of you are comfortable predicting the unknowable.

The war is unpopular, no question. Most people do not favor Obama's Surrender First approach. Let him try and sell that, I'd love to see it.

Most people also don't call it a "Surrender First" approach, unless by "most people" you mean "most conservative talk show hosts."

He doesn't have much to sell. The country already agrees.

Here is where you two lose, claiming to know what most people feel or believe.

Just going off of polls, Arch. Ironically, for you to disagree with the polls you would have to claim that you know what most people feel or believe.

Polls are snapshots in time based on the structure of imprecise questions. Polls are anything but precise, and they are static representations, not dynamic measurements.

And unfortunately, both sides do polling, but often seem to get opposite answers. I don't trust polls.

You could always just go with your gut.

Going with instincts means I cannot be as certain as the two of you are. It means I always have fears and doubts when it comes to political predictions. I had fears and doubts before the Nixon-McGovern race, and before each Reagan race. So what do I know.
