“The size of crowds can arguably be a measure of intensity, but not overall popularity.”

Remember when people asked “why is he having a campaign event here or moving ads there? Obviously he sees a chance there?” Well, it’s easy to have an appearance or switch on some ads but you are not serious in a state unless you have a professional ground game set up there. We weren’t looking for that.

Yup.

There is one thing I can tell you is ALWAYS true of losing campaigns...they and their supporters spend a lot of time disputing polls.

If there is one thing I am glad this election should put a stop to is this stupid notion that the polls are mostly wrong and that somehow you can "unskew" them. What a load of crap that was.
