[West Coast Conservative]

Zogby's career is over.

[Skip98]

Zogby needs to be removed from the American Political scene. He is a propagandist for the Left. Nothing more...

[Cableguy]

[Nachum]

There seems to be only three things to believe about Zogby-

a) He is incompetent

b) He is biased

c) He is incompetent and biased

[soccer_linux_mozilla]

Zogby is a partisan pollster.

He should be humiliated and ignored

[BibChr]

<< Zogby's career is over. >>

Right. Like Dan Rather's career. And Katie Couric's career. And Michael Moore's career. And Tucker Carlson's career. And...

Dan

PS -- Just add the words "SHOULD BE," and I'm with you.

zogby, like 2000, was close to the dim vote, but was any where from 2-4 points off on the 'pub vote. Gee, I wonder why.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Zogby may be one of the more expensive random number generators on the planet.

[RightWinger]

Zogby stinks!

[NY Attitude]

Time for Zogby to fold up the tent and go home.

[talleyman]

Thanks - this is a keeper!

[talleyman]

Zogby may be one of the more expensive random number generators on the planet.

LOL!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Many thanks for the ping.

[Looper]

Nice work. I might have to place my first call ever to Bob Brinker, who hopefully will remove his kneepads after servicing Zogby.

[rollo tomasi]

He will just play the margin of error card.

[Engraved-on-His-hands]

Here's a look at which polls did well and which ones didn't.

Pollsters and the Final Results

[Beckwith]

I hope Zogby has a rich wife.

[Edit35]

I might have to place my first call ever to Bob Brinker, who hopefully will remove his kneepads after servicing Zogby.

Agreed.

I didn't realize how Dem-loving Brinker was until several months ago when he began hammering GWB Administration while giving the Clintonoids a big thumbs up.

Brinker totally ignored the downward stock market Bush inherited. He ignored the Clinton era boardroom scandals Bush inherited, and later cleaned up with the type of SEC enforcement Clinton SHOULD HAVE enacted!!

And Brinker ignored the effect of the 9/11 terror attack, not to mention the Afghan and Iraqi wars, which are expensive and necessary if America is to stop terror coddling, weapon proliferation countries in the MidEast.

Coupled with his sometimes hoity toity attitude, Brinker lost me as a fan that day with his smarter-than-thou Monday Morning Quarterbacking attitude.

Now I can't even listen to his show, which used to air on WABC AM - Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Now I can't switch the channel fast enough when I hear his voice.
