Alas, the ranting continues. Somehow I knew you would reply without responding to the central argument. I just made some phone calls, got the run-around, but finally got in touch with the statisticians that actually worked on the polls. Surprise, they use normalization. In other words, simply looking at the number of people called tells you nothing, by itself. That you are wrong can't be more obvious. Calling people silly, fools and what-not won't change that. Nor will your empty responses.

Come on Mod's - this has got to win an award!! - That is too F'ing funny -

Funny as it is - facts are you are still wrong - Newsweek polls are junk - They simply adjusted their weightings to get their latest results -

You can ignore the link which I provided in my last post which will take you to where the Newsweek poll has been discredited by fellow-freepers -

And you keep thinking it is "how many they called" - They weighted it for a turn-out model that isn't close to any REAL turnout model....What don't you get about that??
