""I have a hard time believing that Rick Santorum is 8 points down in the polls after the last two debates. ""
hmmmm..in 1992 I had a hard time believing a sitting incumbent President with a record far better than most other incumbents was down 5 points to a draft dodging military hating philandering pot smoker...but here we are.
But in 1996, every one of those "reliable" polls were off, many by far more than the MOE, and every last one of them was off in Clinton's direction. Gerry Wasserman of Purdue did a statistical study that found that such a result being arrived at randomly was 240,000:1.
