Looks like yer gonna need them holes.

Not that any poll conducted by the corporates can be trusted.

But it sure would be funny as hell if the polls turned out to be right.

• The Los Angeles Times -- Twelve-point lead for Obama: "Buoyed by enthusiasm among Democrats and public concern over the economy, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has taken a sizable lead over Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at the opening of the general election campaign for president, a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found. In a two-man race between the major-party candidates, registered voters chose Obama over McCain by 49% to 37% in the national poll, conducted Thursday through Monday." The survey of 1,115 registered voters has a margin of error on each result of +/- 3 percentage points.

Update at 1:50 p.m. ET: Meanwhile, Gallup's daily "tracking poll" on the race has Obama and McCain tied at 45%.

It's a long way off. The oil card will keep playing out and I'm sure Bin Laden will campaign for the Republicans again. It's hard to say how it will turn out.
