' KY-Sen: Epistemic closure? We has it! That's what GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell's campaign is all too proud to announce, in response to PPP's new survey showing the Minority Leader with crappy poll numbers. From a new fundraising email that McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton just sent out:

The partisan PPP polling company, which has been used as a tool for Obama Democrats to manufacture circumstances that don't exist all across the country, descended upon Kentucky to proclaim that Senator McConnell has a 37% approval rating. The poll is laughable. But, the liberal press is gobbling it right up. [...]

On the first day of Republican Campaign Manager School, they teach us to ignore PPP polls. You see, PPP is a partisan Democrat polling firm, and they make their living giving the Democrat Party numbers they want to see.

I really hope Republicans keep ignoring PPP as hard as possible in their lessons at Republican Campaign Manager School. P.S. Joe Sonka offers a seriously thorough smackdown of McConnell's embarrassing spin.
