They call 600 people, they get 54 to answer. Each response is then worth 1.85%. 2 people is 3.7% and 3 people is 7.5%

A poll where 3 people can make a 7% difference really isn't all that tight is it.

It’s so sad that liberals just don’t expect even the slightest shred of integrity in their public officials.

When I studied poli sci, when dinosaurs walked the earth, poll companies would pursue their quarry almost to the ends of the earth in order to keep the result scientific. Now it’s who answers the phone?

She is a perfect liar for the DNC. But it’s not much of a loss to conservatives if Brown takes a hike.

Oh! Stop your nonsense! Union workers are being threatened with their jobs and are fined $150 per if they refuse. The only people voting for Fauxchahontas are from Beacon Hill, Cambridge and the Pioneer valley which happens to be the Lesbian Capitol of the Universe. (western MA) where the the first pink Governor has his vacay manse... you know , he too, wants to be with his peeps.

Scott is very popular her despite all of the out of state money (33M) in one month from out of state for Granny Warren.

He has to be polite because she is female but,’ take my word’ for it as Liz would say..she is a blinking, blinded, bumbilicious boob.

We do not like her.

Word.

Internals please ? It’s a wave year, even in Mass. Brown is important.

The proliferation of forms of cheap bandwidth made it possible to use computer driven dialers to actually do statistically valid random sample phone calls ~ using any sort of matrix or universe you wanted.

It's great stuff ~ much better than the old personal interview stuff ~ but the problem is there's been a disaster. They call it CALLER ID and when you see who is calling you decide whether or not you want to answer.

As a consequence actual responses as a percentage of attempts have fallen in the toilet.

This is the reason the polling companies and universities haven't been all that excited about explaining or changing or even dealing with the questions folks raise about what they call 'overpolling' ~ like when you are up to your neck in alligators who cares whether it's puppies or chickens being tossed in to feed the critters.

BTW, several months back I realized that I'd been contacted by 5 separate polling companies ~ as shown on my caller ID list ~ and I didn't call a single one of them back.

So, how random a system is the random dialer process? Might have something to do with my having a name that's something like the 58,000 or so most common name in America ~ they want to get diversity so they always select for us ~ and not MR JONES

True conservatism has, already, lost, both, the ‘12 Massachusetts U.S. Senate race and the race for ‘12 POTUS! Also, the next Congress will have way too many leftists in it, from both major political parties, no matter what the official results are after next Tuesday. How is the U.S. not headed, even more, into third world socialism, no matter what happens next Tuesday?

sad news for ya.. Scottie was never a tea Partier. BUT you must remember that the reason we all voted for him was to kill Obama care.
Scott would have voted to kill it if the Senate had not pulled a fast one and allowed Dead Ted’s usurper/suckup...appointed Senator Paul Kirk... Kennedy bootlicker to that seat! The State Legislature had to twist itself into freaking pretzels to make that happen prior to the LEGALLY scheduled election between Marsha Coakley and Scott Brown.

So if you are gonna be pissed off, be pissed off at the Senate of the US. Harry Reid purposely steered this Obamacare vote so that Scott did not get to vote on it!

It’s all about the machinations!
He never claimed to be a tea partier, he has always been a wussified RINO>

Better than Dead Ted any day!

“God help us if the whole country goes the way of Massachusetts.”

Not gonna happen. More than half the country is lining up behind Texas and the resurgent patriot south.

Massachusetts is an outlier state that will be kicked out of the union.

That’s not true - even scumbag Nate Silver at the NY Times was predicting a GOP takeover of the senate up until September. Many Republicans have been predicting a takeover. Looks bad now though.

This is a Massachusetts seat, and it just was not a likely win in a presidential year.

Disappointed, but would not surprise me if we lose it.

Brown will win. MA is still highly patriarchal, more than it’s liberal cover would let on.

It is sad that Massachusetts may send Warren to the US Senate, despite her open faced lies about being a minority to gain preference in hiring and her practicing law without a license. Warren may take over Obama’s old position as the most liberal member of the US Senate. Al Franken already has the distinction of being the Senate’s village idiot.

The people of Massachusetts kept re-electing an unrepentant murderer for decades.

A fake Indian commie is their ideal candidate.
