There was a time, not too long ago, when I'd get a phone call almost every evening from somebody who wanted to know who I was going to vote for and if I might be changing my mind...

They wanted to know my thoughts on the economy, on national security.

They tested me with queries about taxing and spending, about past associations, about the specter of terrorism.

Now, those fickle pollsters only seem to care about the states where the less decisive live and I can't help wondering: If you only poll the wishy-washy states, won't your polling data be more wishy-washy?
