"... roughly 80% of the polling by his firm that was made publicly available was done for Daily Kos or other progressive groups."

Telling them what they wanted to hear.

Why doesn’t Markos, and his happy group of idiots do their own polling. Then all the questions will be answered to their satisfaction!

If not perhaps George Soros could recommend a suitable replacement.

Geez, what a bunch of crapheads!

Those freaks over at dailykooks ought to be drageed out of their mommy’s basements and beat senseless. Complete traitors and it makes me sick to my stomache to read anything coming from those wimpy pieces of excrement. And I know... I am actually insulting excrement with that statement.

I’ll poll for them ....as long as they don’t mind being in a constant state of crying, wailing and knashing of teeth.

Exactly! Now watch the next polling firm will tell them the truth and they won’t like that either.

Actually it makes sense to fire the polster who got it wrong. Hold them accountable for their deceit and then they may stop lying as much. But I have a feeling there will be another idiot in the waiting to pay them for what they want to hear.

Polls can’t predict turnout and GOTV efforts. Shooting the messenger in this case is just stupid. I don’t care what anyone says, especially during this age of cell phones, polling is far from an exact science. Even exit polls are flawed, and those are involving people that are supposedly VOTING.

Kos will probably get a joint effort by MoveOn.org and SEIU to conduct their polling from now on....

Ali noted to Hotline OnCall that those leads were within the polls' margin of error.

Yeah, but that may be too complicated for them.

Krissy Matthews liked to post Research 2000’s polls.

Wonder where he’ll get his lies from now?

"I have decided to part ways with our current pollster, and will be looking for a new polling partner to finish out this election cycle," Moulitsas wrote in a statement posted on his site.

Translation: "I don't like the report of the light at the end of the tunnel being the Tea Party Express heading right at us, so I've decided to buy a different polling whore."


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Sounds like the reign of the (faux) messiah isn’t working out the way some of his followers had hoped. As the unhappiness mounts, heads will no doubt continue to roll.

On his site, Moulitsas wrote the following:

“I believe in accountability, in accuracy, and in making sure we provide the absolute best information not just to this wonderful community, but also to the outside world. As such, Daily Kos will be on polling hiatus the next several months as we evaluate our options and decide how to best proceed.”

What a load of BS!

Interesting that they are suspending all polling, especially before the mid-terms.

Could be Kos is having money problems, or maybe he’s worried that more accurate polling would dishearten the Rats.

Daily Kos or other progressive groups

Nothing "Progressive" about marxism.

I understand the marxists wanting to call themselves something else, the reason why the right participates in the deception is beyond me.
