This may be gaining traction in the UK but in America it is going nowhere.

The reason the polls in GA were off is they used faulty voter turnout information. They underestimated, as they often do, Republican turn out and underestimated 'rat apathy...especially the extremely anemic black turnout.

Just more goofy conspiracy theory for the 'rats who refuse to face reality. I can only pray the 'rats keep on drinking the Kool-Aid and deluding themselves. This particular conspiracy does not explain Republican gains in the rest of the nation in 2002. Nor does it explain Republican control in the US House and Senate in 2000, 1998, 1996, or 1994. It doesn't explain why Republicans have gained control of a majority of Governorships, state legislatures, and a majority of state legislators for the first time in since the Great Depression.

I only hope we have a long a run as the 'rats did.

This is very true and can't be stressed enough. When the results don't jive with the polls, it's not the results that are immediately suspect, it's the polls that are discredited. To give the polls too much credit is tricky at best, and troublesome at worst.

Indeed, this mindset gives the polls to much credit (since after all it accepts that the actual election results are suspect, not the poll). If the underlying premise is suspiction in vote tallying, it almost completely ignores something naturally more suspect and not more easily prone to innacuracy and even fraud: the pre-election polls.

According to the liberals the election shouldn't have been held in California because six counties still had the outdated and inaccurate punch card voting. But in Georgia the election is fraudulent because they DON'T have punch card voting. Whatever helps them the most. It never ceases to amaze me.
