There is no justification for having 32% ind. That number just does not exist. There is no GREAT independent voter that's anywhere near the numbers of repubs or dems. If you think there is .. you're deceived.

Look, is it just that you don't get it or that you are fighting for dear life not to get it?

This is about how the voter self identifies as his or her status. It's not that 32% are supporting an independent candidate. It's that 32% don;t identify as either dems or pubbies, that's all.

I have been a registered republican since 1986, age 18. If I were polled today, I would self identify as an independent. That doesn't mean I am backing an independent candidate for any office - it means I don't identify myself as a dem or a GOPer, that's all. This is not a difficult concept, though you are having a remarkably difficult time with it.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!

It's not about how the voter self-identifies - it's how the media is lying about the numbers.

Like I said .. I give up .. you all are just too stupid to figure out you are being lied to and you're trying your best to justify what the media is saying as truth - IT'S NOT!!

I'm not having any difficulty at all with understanding that CBS is lying about the numbers. They're over-loading the polls with an unrealistic and disproportionate number of dems IN ORDER TO GET THE ANSWER THEY WANT. That's what you don't get.
