ACORNS Real Impact (Poll Weighting)
The Right Reasons ^ | 21 October | Ray Malone (Common Tator)

Posted on 10/21/2008 11:36:38 AM PDT by Rokke

...So it looks like we now know the origin of the 38, 39, 41 and 43 percent turn out of Democrats used in the polls. Before Acorn started., Democrat turn out was estimated to be in the mid 30s but as more and more names were registered by ACORN the apparent Democrat turn out went up, up, and up. But in Florida the Republican turn out looks like 36 percent and the independents are 22 percent of turn out.

But what if the turn out is actually 36,36, 28... then Obama is hurting, and ACORNS attempt to stampede voters will not have worked. It appears to me that the more they fool the pollsters and make Obama look like a big winner the more independents and Democrats say they will vote for McCain....

Common Tator does an excellent job here of explaining ACORNS real impact on this election. It probably has less to do with producing fake votes, and a lot more to do with producing democrat enthusiasm based on flawed polls.

Imagine running for office and having Mickey Mouse, Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, and Jive Turkey ready and eager to vote for you!

The yare overweighting the polls based on phony voter registrations, thereby inflating dem numbers. I guess when McCain wins, we will know why.

Worse yet, how many times do you suppose ‘Goldfish, Dead’ contributed to The One’s election campaign?

Racism will be the only explanation given by the MSM if McCain wins.

If this is right, and Ray Malone is a very astute election observer, then it might account for the apparent disparity between published polls for Pennsylvaia and the supposed internal polls of the Obama campaign showing only a 2 point race in the Keystone state.

If McCain doesn’t win, you can kiss any reining in of Acorn goodbye. It’ll only get worse.

This, plus the Bradley effect, have the polls off by 10%.

(my estimate)

We should start a pool to see who can come the closest to stating the difference between RCP 2-days out, and the election actual totals.

” I guess when McCain wins, we will know why.”

That won’t be the msm version.

The msm version will be hacked voting machines.
Voter suppression.
And...let’s see. What was that other one again?
Oh yeah.
R.A.C.I.S.M.
