In a statement to RCP, Zogby now says he has "no idea what is going to happen." The full statement:
You all know the story of the seven blind men and the elephant. It all depends what you feel and how you sense it. I have seen some blogs following my discussion on Sean Hannity's Radio Show yesterday (January 18) where he asked what I “think” is going to happen in Massachusetts. I told him I didn't know. I don't think that the polls that are out have gotten to measure the full impact of President's visit. But I also think that the Democrats have a better get-out-the-vote operation. There are lots of variables but at the moment I thought Martha Coakley “might win” by less than a point.
That, my friends, is a hunch. I have not polled Massachusetts on this race and I have stated that Coakley has run an arrogant, aloof campaign – while Scott Brown has defied expectations.
In the full interests of truth: I have no idea what is going to happen. Actually no one does. Some have data that suggests – that often enough has been me. Others have no data and still suggest. This time that is me.
I am so proud of my record over the years. I am so gratified that so many people care what I think. But this particular time it is based on a hunch. We will see.
He put the weight of his name behind SPECIAL SAUCE.
He needs to add more stew and lay off the SAUCE.
That, my friends, is a hunch. I have not polled Massachusetts on this race..."
Well then, why the hell did you venture an opinion as to the eventual outcome of the race, Zog?
My guess? You're a fraud, and a partisan liberal hack.
