And, you think there are no tricks in this campaign? Okay. From nobody, eh? Okay.

Personally, I don't see black helicopters in the sky or in my posts. I do think there have been, are, and will be tricks pulled in campaigns.

Also, yes, the numbers are important. And, like you, I like seeing the breakdowns. Yet, I don't get to see the breakdowns as much as I would like to see them. Oh well, I don't.

I still say that Rs would like the numbers to be low at this point in the campaign, so they can exclaim how the polls are rising for them, even if real polling would show the opposite.
