You're right. Logic should only work when you want it to.
"First, I'll note that it's disingenuous to suggest that 35% undecided is "close to half", "
I am only refering to the data from FreeRepublic Members. The non-member contribution tends to get "Freeped" by people from DU. 40.7% of Freepers remain undecided.
"However, at least we finally have a working definition of "fractured" - you assert it's when the a plurality of voters have decided one way or the other."
No. I assert it cannot be determined until a plurality of voters have decided one way or another.
"I prefer not to use ambiguous terms in support of my comments."
lol. Interesting then that you are the one declaring "the conservative party" is "fractured".
Oh, I see. So 41% is "close to half". Man, you just can't help yourelf, can you?
No. I assert it cannot be determined until a plurality of voters have decided one way or another.
And I assert that during the snapshot in time in which this poll's been taken, a deep divide among posters to this site is clearly in evidence. It's just a matter of how you interpret the numbers; obviously we don't agree.
lol. Interesting then that you are the one declaring "the conservative party" is "fractured".
Provide the quote you're attributing to me. I don't even know what "the conservative party" is - you're the one who keeps using that ambiguous, meaningless term. Perhaps you think I'm using the terms "GOP" and "conservative" interchangeably. Let me assure you I'd never make that mistake.
And what's really interesting is that, probably for the first time ever, non-member opinion is shown to more in favor of Bush's position on a particular question than member opinion is (36.4% vs 29.8% for the "Yes" option, as of post time).
