Fred’s tied for third, second with the margin of error, nice spin, Spiff.

That's not spin, RnR, it's a lie.

I was trying to be nice.

But yeah, it was a lie. Typical.

I wasn’t going to bother, but since you said it was a lie when it was the truth, I felt compelled.

Fred is tied for 4th. So of the five candidates above the 10% mark, he is tied for last.

Not a lie, it’s the literal truth.

RnR is correct that the bottom 4 are still within the margin of error of each other.

But it is clear that Rasmussen isn’t detecting a bump in the polls for Thompson.

On the other hand, I believe we are no longer expecting a bump for Thompson. The NLRC endorsement is instead going to provide an organization and grass-roots support for Fred.

Which can’t hurt him.

Dismiss the polls as meaningless, find polls that are more favorable to your candidate, spin them all you like.

But it’s just wrong and a bit desperate-sounding to say someone is lying when they are telling the truth.
