Then there are those that ignore it. Didn't like this post the first time?
Sarah Palin stated when she was in Iowa that she has never won a poll but she has won elections. She ignores polls. So do I. I always have. You can get a poll to show anything you want. Just ask questions the "right" way.
All of FR cheered when Bush declared he would not govern by polls. Suddenly polls and their false message have become very important to some. I suspect it's because the poll, honest or not, supports their point of view.
Alaska has less than 500,000 registered voters. It’s a vast difference from a national election, you know like the one she lost.
When the polls are consistent it is wise to see if they are flukes, or if it’s just possible that there is something there to take a look at. Prior to the 2008 election, nobody really knew who she was. Afterward, there has been nothing but 24/7 Palin coverage good, bad and definitely ugly. The polls could very well be reflecting Palin fatigue.
Ignoring a post isn’t the same thing as stifling debate. One is a choice the other is manipulation.
