Just for a good laugh, have a look at what these guys were saying then and compare it with what they are saying here.
I love retro threads. Love going back to see what people were saying at one point, and how people's views change or flip-flop or whatever over time.

I must toot my own horn. On Page 2 of that thread my post was as close to the truth of the matter in that entire thread. I was quite proud to come across it. The overlooked thing about polls is that they should be taken together and averaged out, whereas the partisans and the most ignorant among us just take one snapshot and run with it without looking into that poll or understanding anything other than the number they see.
