Trumpet or not to trumpet

The Shad Plank asks an interesting question - should the Republicans trumpet today's poll as good news, considering the source. The polling company leans Democratic and may bring forth less pleasant numbers later.
First thought is - Ain't no stoppin' us now, it's on to victory in November for the big three.
Second thought is - we've got momentum, and let's ride the momentum right now.
But the race will grow tighter, and Public Policy Polling may lean toward Deeds in the fall. How should the Republicans respond to those polls.
1. Hey, they'll be another poll tomorrow.
2. Squirrel!! (works for those who saw "Up" recently).
3. PPP was good in July. I don't know what happened to them since.
4. "As we battle with Terry McAuliffe... What?... Those polls that had him leading in April were wrong?... Imagine that. Maybe this poll's not on the right track either."
RPV chair Pat Mullins said it's a marathon and not a sprint. Like the Tour de France now going on, it takes endurance and teamwork. But it's also good to celebrate your stage win and have your picture taken with pretty girls.
