Two days ago, Barack Obama flicked a little jab out at Sarah Palin. Today, Team Sarah blasts him right on the point of his imperiously-raised chin.

If it seems to you that there have been a lot more polls this year than in elections past, it’s because there have been. There has been an explosion of polls this presidential election.
