This morning, the Oracle of NBC/MSNBC, the man with the magic numbers, on teevee early this morning sayin' Don't believe the polls, they're all over the board, they're not to be relied on. The gospel according to Chuck Todd, uber number-cruncher: Even the gold standard, Gallup, is not to be believed right now...

So why are Scarborough and Mika twistin' the Gallup poll of likely voters this morning and saying Obama's in big trouble? All concern trolling this morning. Along with Richard Cohen at the Washington Post and The Villagers going boogah-boogah, risky business, paperthin.... Gee, Mika says, we're not being fair....

Ya think?

Hmmmm, I've just completed a poll of likely voters in the Sunshine family and whoo-wee, Obama gets 100% of the votes.

Sunshine Poll: Obama 100%, McCain 0%.

Sunshine Poll, more reliable than Gallup. And the bazillion made-up polls floating around. And the media.

Prairie Dispatch: We Don’ Need No Steenkin’ Polls

Last night’s primary produced one sure winner…and one big loser. The winner—we, the people. Like Iowa, the voters of New Hampshire turned out in force and said, “enough’s enough.” We’re sick of top down tell us how to think and vote. We’re takin’ back our democracy, one state, one primary, one vote at a time.

The landscape looks a lot more colorful this morning, not just A vs. B, but the nuances and interactions of candidates bringing to the table their street cred and their issues. And by street cred, we’re not talkin’ Wall Street and inside the Beltway, we’re talkin’ Main Street, and the highways and byways of Real America.

Which brings us to the big loser last night. The cocktail wienies lost big time. The pundits and prognosticators and poll-takers and poll-interpreters and poll-spinners lost.

And hurray for that!

They’re still trying to dictate top down. Telling Edwards it’s time to drop out [Matthews]. Callin’ the Democratic side in disarray [Buchanan]. Well, guess what guys. We ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’ anymore.

John Edwards said we are going to be in an epic battle to wrest back this country from the corporatists. We haven’t settled on the one leader for that epic battle, but obviously the battle is joined.

We don’t need to rattle pitchforks. We vote.
