An expanded Pledge

I have previously urged readers, as a mental health and time-saving measure, to take The Pledge not to pay attention to presidential polls, and especially the Republicans’ obsessive reporting of Obama’s forever “plummeting” approval ratings, at least until the beginning of the actual presidential election year, 2012. In a current thread, Lydia McGrew has suggested a revised and expanded Pledge: not to follow the presidential campaigning at all until 2012. In my reply to her, I admit that there may be something to what she’s saying.
