Please Take Your Poll Numbers and Stick Them Where the Sun Don’t Shine

Having previously discussed combat psychology, let me extend the discussion by saying this: Stop telling me about damned poll numbers! One of the basic things about fighting is, once the fight starts, you forget about the odds of victory.

’13 Days and a Wake-Up’

Charles Lollar held a press conference this afternoon in which he closed by saying that we’ve got “13 days and a wake-up” until Nov. 2.
