From the desk of Mindles H. Dreck:But What is the Plan?
Best of the Web and "Juan Non-Volokh" [archives screwed, scroll to 11/3, "things that make you go hmmm"] are both right that the NYTimes is spinning its poll results. Particularly, the Times neglects to point out that more people think the Republicans have a "clear plan for the country".
However, that could easily be because the reflexive Democrats polled believe that the Republicans have a "clear plan" to....sell control fo the country to the highest bidder, steal from the poor and provoke World War III in order to benefit the oil and defense lobbies. Chances are the reflexive Republicans prefer to think of Democrats as clueless.
Democrats and Republicans alike appear to credit Republicans with better planning (which is odd, given the supposed stupidity of their leader), but Democrats think Republicans are evil. The poll is meaningless.
My conclusions above are based on sophisticated polling methods time-tested by pundits in big media. In other words I asked a bunch of my friends.
