Ah Human Head, ever the optimist. Cute little poll. Those results are pretty much to be expected from any CBS News poll. What his headline should have been was:

One thing to note about the poll was the number of African Americans that were polled. I wonder if they were asked the following question:

should be defunded. That comes in question 94 of the survey. 69% want the war
funded with some form of benchmarks, and 15% want it funded with no strings
attached at all.
