Voters, polls, and hair make strange bedfellows

I’m not sure what to make of the latest polls. It’s 53-percent to 30-percent, Clinton on top of Obama. It’s better on top.

Obama’s numbers continue to drop and my numbers continue to rise. That’s the trend and it looks good, but we’re a year away from the election, so anything can happen, especially where voters are concerned.

The problem with polls? The voters.

Voters say one thing and do something else. You can’t trust them. They make up the answers in every survey. Seriously. They make up answers. They lie. You’d think the electorate was made up of former members of Congress.

What no one truly knows is what comes first, the voters or the polls. Do voters support a candidate in a poll because they heard about other polls where a candidate was leading? Yes. Do polls drive the voter’s choices. Yes.

Voters, in general, prefer to support a winner, or, at the very least, someone who has a chance at winning. That’s why Obama continues to drop in the polls. Even black voters are convinced I can whip his butt. Why? Hair wins. Voters prefer hair.

That’s the biggest problem the leading Republican candidates have. No hair. They all look like Dwight Eisenhower. Hair wins. Who did Eisenhower beat? Stevenson. See? Even less hair.

Kennedy? Plenty of hair. Even Nixon had more hair than Hubert Humphrey or George McGovern. Carter had more than Ford. Reagan had more hair than Carter. Dukakis wore a piece. Bill has more hair than George Bush. Al Gore’s hair was thinning badly, and George W. Bush won the election. By a hair. John Kerry’s hair didn’t even look real.

Look at Giuliani, Thompson, or McCain? No hair. I can’t lose.
