Poll schmoll
No surprise here: Dave Buhler doesn't buy his opponent's early poll numbers for the 2007 Salt Lake City mayor's race.
Last week, Jenny Wilson provided figures from a poll she commissioned that showed she pulled 16 percent of the vote and Buhler 6 percent. The undecideds beat them both, at 62 percent.
"I have no doubt it's bogus," Buhler said.
No doubt his own pollsters say he's ahead. He was also told that Wilson's pollsters' got his name wrong, pronouncing it "Boohler."
"Boohler gets 6 percent. I don't know what Buhler would get," he said.
Seven other declared candidates also are seeking to replace Mayor Rocky Anderson, who is not seeking a third term next year.

If "Boohler" gets elected, expect to hear, "anyone, anyone" behind his back or to hear people crack up should he ever utter those words.
You're skeptical of what Buhler's pollster will tell him, but you'll report Wilson's poll breathlessly? Has Holly Mullen started dictating your columns?
