That's dishonest, and you know it. Polls taken weeks before the election must be given less weight than exit polls taken on the day of the election. So based on the best available evidence, Castle would have lost. There is no other intellectually honest way to call it.
.....Castle would have lost.....
We disagree. I am told ALL the polling, before the primary, during the general and exit polling show he would have won against the Democrat. He almost went write-in. He was a veteran House member, well known and well liked in that small state. Like him or not, he was a victim of the combination of the throw the bums out syndrome and not being conservative enough for the purists. Thats all I am saying. I am certainly not intellectually dishonest.
