Quote of the Day: The trouble with good polls

By Richard K. Barry

While being ahead in the polls is a lot better than being behind, it's always dangerous when a campaign starts to get giddy about their chances.

Jen Penski, the Obama campaign press secretary, is wise to the dangers.

Says Jen, "If we have to issue horse blinders to everyone on our campaign staff, we will."

Okay kids, there's a lot of work to do and the moment you begin to think you can't lose is the moment you start to lose.
