They may be entirely wrong in their predictions, but the point is that the pollsters are trying to get it right. If they are just choosing algorithms based on bias, they will be consistently wrong, and over time they will lose business. It’s a market-driven situation. To deny the polls by saying they are biased is to deny reality. Denying reality is never a good thing. We need to wake up and figure out how to win, or at a minimum prepare for the bad times.

Now, that's funny. They poll 1,000 people with methods we cannot even understand and tell us that's how 100 million voters will vote three weeks from now.

Here's a reality check for you.

People lie. People change their minds. The samples can easily be skewed. The people answering the polls are the ones answering the phone. A majority of hard-working people don't sit around at home waiting for the phone to ring from a pollster. A hell of a lot of people don't even have a home phone anymore.

Here's a dose of reality for you.

A hell of a lot of people registered do not vote.

Who is a likely voter and how likely are they to vote?

The election is on November 4, 2008 and NOT ONE DAY BEFORE.

Sun Tzu in his Art of War said if you defeat the enemy general in his mind, you may not even have to fight his army.

A lot of this Democrat propaganda is nothing but a mind f***.

Patriots don't allow a mind f*** to destroy their courage and prevent them from fighting a fight that MUST be won ON THE DAY APPOINTED FOR BATTLE.

“It’s a market-driven situation.”

No it’s not. It’s political and agenda driven.

If newspapers were in the business to please the market, you would see fair reporting. You would see editors and managers trying to attract conservative consumers. You don’t. The media is the one business where it’s consumer be damned.

Need proof? Check out the advertising revenue, look at the viewership and circulation numbers. The propaganda press is bleeding money and readership all over America.

The political polsters are connected to the hip with the Marxist media. They are as biased as the media. Where do you think they make their money? From the left wing press.

Nobody in their right mind goes to Rasmussen or Gallup for marketing or business research. That’s because they’re political entities. Paid for by the left wing press.

And if these polling companies are “market-driven” as you claim, why isn’t the McCain campaign using them for its polling data?
