I think it was not all skewed in favor of Obama.
Some good info here: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/06/my-own-suspicions-about-research-2000.html
DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas today revealed that he was preparing to sue Research 2000, which Kos has commissioned polling from for years. Kos said a trio of statistics experts dug into their polling and concluded that much of the polling "we ran the past year and a half was likely bunk."Sweets to the sweet. Thanks Palmetto Patriot.
Good Lord. That picture explains a LOT.
Golly!!! Does President Kuchinich know about this???
Wait, shouldn’t he be raising this with the WH Polling Czar?
If only Markos and Unknown Jerome had listened to us years ago. Could have saved themselves a few bucks.
will those left wing kooks now wake up and understand they are a very small minority and not a majority now.
I am fed up of hearing of some kook that they think they’re the majority and have no clue that as soon as their back has turned people are laughing at these kooks.
Course I prefer to laugh at them to their face and not once have they ever said anything back but I guess cowards cannot stand up form themselves when they are less than 10 of them.
why is it that far left men look so girlie and far elft women look more like a man.
If anyone doubts this then just look at a far left wing crowd, I swear the women are always ugly with no class or style and the men lok like either aging hippies or girls who my youngest son at 7 years old could smash up
That's exactly what happened. If you look at the spreads of polling, KOS/R2000 is always isor is on the edge of beingan outlier in favor of the RATs. I'm not too good at statistics, but consistent deviation from the norm is not a reputable polling firm and should be ignored at all costs.
Hell, practically ALL polling is bunk. Remember the Coke vs New Coke debacle? Coke polled a bunch of people and asked them questions about changing the flavor and sweetness of Coca Cola and their polling said they should change. The minute New Coke hit the streets people came out of the woodwork and slammed Coke for changing their formula.
The lesson? It all depends on who you ask, what you ask, how you ask, and when you ask when you poll.
Absolutely agree. Your comment reminded me of the works of Immanuel Kant on deception. I have included it below.
Kantian ethics pertaining to deception and lying
Cheers.
“I figured he was paying for the results he wanted to see. How could this be news to him?”
The obama honeymoon is over - even for kos. Now he’s trying futilely to salvage some vestige of a reputation of actually caring about the facts.
“The Washington Post had them on their list of Approved Pollsters.”
LOL. And the old dinos die a little more every day...drip, drip, drip...think of the heights the comPOST and the NYSlimes have fallen from.

There’s no case there and I doubt there will be any lawsuit. These flakes like the Kooks and ACORN blow smoke about suing everyday—and it’s all so much BS.
Your right, actually the nice guy needs more lawyers. I just laugh at people getting lawyers. Nothing liquidates a bank account like a lawyer. They will get that dope on the phone at $250-300 per hr. have a donut an coffee and listen to him vent.

And the lemmings all believed it as gospel .. yeah this is a credible thing for the KOS.
So now all their polling is just an “i’m sorry we screwed up”??? I DON’T THINK SO!
The old dinos are dead and gone, replaced by leftist rodents.
Duckie strikes me as straighter than Markos.
