Anyone have a link to a good analysis of why all the polls seemed to be so badly wrong?
I heard a Democrat pollster on PBS saying the same thing: the polls in the South were horribly off--Republicans won, and they won in the double digits, when the best polls taken only hours before suggested that in the best possible scenarios they were all in a dead heat or even slightly behind.

Apparently Republicans in the South do not talk to pollsters.

I turned down a pollster. I don't think it was any of the big ones, because they usually identify themselves immediately. They started the call by asking if I had made up my mind about the FL governpr's race, then asked if I'd like to share my decision. I said no.
