Numbers numbers numbers

I'm guessing Scott McInnis is going to win the GOP nomination for governor of Colorado. The party machine is thinking Josh Penry hasn't hung out in the Senate long enough. Numbers from Public Policy Polling (PDF warning) support that, but the really interesting poll result is from another poll (once again, PDF warning):

When Public Policy Polling surveyed Colorado in April it found Bill Ritter with an approval rating in the lows 40s and trailing Scott McInnis by almost ten points in a hypothetical contest. Four months later nothing has changed.

On a really ginormous downer note, I'm hoping that these poll results are just early polling number stupidity, because if the GOP nominates Schmuckabee for president we can give up any hope of ever regaining the reputation of the party of small government and fiscal responsibility.  And yes, I recognize that I'm jumping up and down with joy at one set of early poll numbers and cringing at another set.  Piss off.
