But Nate is right. Pollsters, in general, got 2014 wrong. My firm, InsiderAdvantage, polled only Georgia. Our final poll had the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, David Perdue, leading the race 48 percent to 45 percent over the Democrat, with the rest either undecided or going to the Libertarian candidate. But darn it, we just couldn't force the undecided voters to tell us how they would vote! Of course, we nailed it on who was in the lead. And our polls showed the Democrat fading fast. But if we had just put the screws to the undecideds we polled, we might have been able to extract enough data to realize the magnitude of what was about to happen.

What a bunch of self serving claptrap! If only...if only we coulda, shoulda, woulda.

The unadulterated fact is, Matt, you BLEW it with the rest of your AJC, Sunday Atlanta News Commentaries and shows and all the rest.

You can try to rehabilitate your record somewhere else, but not here with me. 48% does not equal 53% by any measure. The fact is that you had the intuition that the daughter of a Senator who disappeared from the Georgia Scene in the mid 90s, who dropped her husband's name, and was Siamesed to Obama is not a hard guess to figure out she'd eventually lose. Making excuses how you couldn't wheedle out the right answer is BS - just good ole boy "aw shucks" horsesh1t. Go away - we don't need you.

The only pollster I’m ever going to pay attention to for the rest of my life is the one the Des Moines Register uses, is it Seltzer?

But Gaffer, how do you really feel? LOL!
