Sabato might well be a recent convert to the implications of the PEW report that revealed these pollsters are in such bad shape now due to Caller ID ~ and social change ~ that they run on a 9% or less response rate.

The first implication is that almost all the polls can be easily subverted by otherwise small groups who all, as a practice, respond to any polls they encounter.

For example the GBLT, feminazi and pro-abortion crowd could easily do this and shift every poll to their candidates and positions.

We will need to find some other way of gauging public sentiment than polling now that nobody has to answer the phone anymore!

polls are a crap shoot anyway IMO and its like the weather....predict it one way and you're going to be right sometimes...

several polls that say the same thing however might add up to something...

just remember that the bammey media has had us in a choke hold with "the election is over" and "no, Romney's keeping it close" and "there's no Mitt-mentum"...

we can't win no matter what...

if you haven't donated, do so on line today...if you can volunteer, go for it...and please, please vote and get your mothers and fathers, sisters, brothers, children, church friends, etc to vote too..
