WOW . . . just WOW!
Collectively, these are some of the most amazing photos that we've had featured on the DOSE in awhile!!! . . . the photo of the President 'fishing' with the terminally ill 10 year old . . . the photo of the President and Tony (the latter looking like a giddy school boy!) . . . the photo of the President and all of the flag waving elementary students . . . AWESOME!!
HEADS UP . . .
If you missed BOR's final interview segment with the President, you can watch at 11 PM EDT, FoxNews Channel . . . It was so uplifting listening to our principled, visionary president explain his unwavering faith and resolve in the face of historic challenges/relentless criticism!!
MUST VIEWS . . .
PRESIDENT SERVED NC BBQ LUNCH
[This videoclip features a quote that could have been uttered by anyone here at the DOSE. Paraphrase: The President was such a great guy that it makes me even more upset with those who bash him constantly (or something to that effect) -- I couldn't agree more!!

MUST READ:
MORE ABOUT THE BOGUS POLLS FROM AN E-MAILER TO HUGH HEWITT'S WEGSITE . . .
Thank you so much for bringing attention on the all the faulty polling being done. You are not crazy, you are absolutely, 100% spot-on on this. I have worked my entire adult life, 25 years, processing market research and public opinion surveys. I know enough about surveys to be able to construct one that shows people prefer Pepsi over Coke, 60%-40%, or vice versa, and you would have no idea how I got either result even if I gave you the internals and methodology. You don’t have to take it on faith that there is a media conspiracy to misrepresent polling, they admit it in their own poll results. I have yet to see a general population poll that did not show adults 2%-4% more liberal than registered voters and registered voters 2%-4% more liberal than likely voters, and yet the media has no qualms about citing adults or registered voters when they want to give the Dems an added boost. Likewise, most 7 day tracking studies show a liberal 2%-4% bias when collecting over the weekend, yet the weekend seems to be the favorite time to poll. But the most important flaw is the one you have been talking about, the fact that every poll seems to over sample Democrats by 5%-10% consistently.
The proof of their inaccuracy is, as you state, in the exit polls. They are taken of a sample of actual voters, and can be verified against the actual voting results. The party affiliation was even in 2004, and +2% for the Republicans in 2002, and this seems pretty correct considering the election results (though given the vote counts it may still undercount Republicans by 1% or 2%).
The common error is to assume that their rigorous random sampling methodology truly gives them a representative sample of voters. By reviewing the accuracy of their predictions, it is obvious that, for a variety of reasons, the likely voters they talk to in October contain more Democrats than actually cast a vote in November. My theory on this is that Republicans are serious adult citizens, Democrats and Independents are not. Republicans by and large take their citizenship seriously, inform themselves and vote accordingly. The rest of the population doesn’t even register to vote, or only vote when they are sufficiently ginned up, or when they are herded on busses to the polls. They base their opinions on chanted slogans or newspaper headlines, and take their responsibility to vote about as serious as all their other responsibilities as citizens.
Come November 7, I am confident (as is Karl Rove) that more serious adults will show up at the polls than Democrats. All our election experience tells us that 2006 will be a status quo election, a small number of seats gained in the House by the Democrats, and a small number of seats gained in the Senate by the Republicans. The ONLY evidence offered of this “Blue Wave” that will supposedly change the course of history are these aforementioned polls, which we KNOW are faulty and biased.

WOW.....Just WOW!..... Thanks as ever for each & every link, each & every night!
Pollsters are supposed to be without bias trying to get a reprsentative sample. Today here in Wyoming a local pollster was quoted in our local paper talking about his poll results for the race between Barbara Cubin (R) and Trauner (D) for the House and he was quoted "some people will hold their noses and vote for Cubin". What despicable bias! But Barbara Cubin will win by a comfortable margin and so will Craig Thomas for the Senate.
Thanks for reminding me again that he is on BOR. I must try to watch this one for sure.
Thanks for all the interesting links you have provided.
Hi, Deb :) Thanks for the links!
Did you not think that by making W walk and talk with BOR, that BOR was doing that to take command of the interview, AND...show everyone in America that he was taller (in his mind=better) than the President????
I did. And I didn't like it. Cheap trick Bill. How very ego-esque of you.
W - YOU DID GREAT. THANK YOU EVERY DAY FOR BEING OUR PRESIDENT. NOW PLEASE GET TOUGH ON OUR BORDERS...IMMEDIATELY---& FOLLOW THROUGH TOO! THANKS!!!
