Polls Oversampling Democrats?

Maybe if you had carried a portable spring-loaded pole that you could have just put in-place for a few minutes, you would have sold more?

I'm certain they were all wanting to meet the Cinnamon Girl of Neil Young fame. Who wouldn't want to meet that girl?

Neil Young is what I thought of too.

Any time a party starts complaining about how unfair the polls are, it's a sure sign that they know they are losing.

Not complaining....just stating some obvious facts.
I believe that any time you have to over sample to get a desired result......the reason might be that you think you are losing.

God, just let Gov NumbNuts keep doin' what he's doin'.... PLEASE! rofllol

Romney Touts Energy Plan In Colorado, Visit Called The 'Height Of Irony' By Wind Power Advocates

Mitt Romney campaigned in Pueblo, Colorado, on Monday, telling about 3,000 supporters that, as president, he’d create jobs in the state by developing U.S. energy resources. Yet, even before he touched down at the city airport where the event was held, Romney was under fire by wind-power advocates for leading opposition to the federal tax credit extension tied to the loss announced last week of roughly 100 jobs at a Pueblo wind tower factory.

In a statement sent out Monday morning, Pete Maysmith, executive director at Colorado Conservation Voters, characterized the Romney visit as the “height of irony.”

“If [Romney] was serious about job creation, he would quit catering to his big oil supporters and join the bipartisan support in Colorado for clean renewable energy jobs and extension of the wind production tax credit.”

The New York Times reported in August that the longstanding bipartisan agreement to extend the credits, which were first passed in the 1990s by George H.W. Bush, had gotten tangled up in presidential politics when “Senate Republicans removed [the tax credits] from a usually routine package of business tax breaks to show their loyalty to their presumptive presidential nominee, Mitt Romney.”

Better than carrying it up your ass all day long like you do.

I think these pollsters know what they are doing- and by skewing the polls in favor of Obama- they show the desperation to decieve the voting public.

I suspected all along that this was occuring, because since 2010- the outcome of the elections have been out of line with what the polls say- take the Scott Walker recall election for example- every poll and MS media outlet were sure that Walker was a gonner.

Dick Morris, a political expert and former adviser to President Bill Clinton, explains that the polls don't accurately show the vote in favor of Romney. Dick Morris claims that the pollsters inaccurately overweight Blacks, Hispanics and elderly based on 2008 turnout instead of more traditional 2004 or more recent 2010 elections. Dick Morris suggests Romney leads 52 percent to 48 percent over Obama.

And as I suspected....

All of the polling out there uses some variant of the 2008 election turnout as its model for weighting respondents and this overstates the Democratic vote by a huge margin.

Here's the article - from a BIG TIME democrat, Dick Morris.

Yeah, that must be it... The polls are skewed...

RMoney couldn't possibly be losing because he's an incompetent twit and a buffoon...

Y'all jus' keep doin' what yer doin'...

Keep alienating the Hispanics. You lose them by a big enough majority this time, and the GOTP will be a minority party of angry, white guys for the next 30 years.

Keep alienating women. They outnumber you... You keep telling them you're for "smaller government"--except where it comes to their women's issues, freedom of choice, freedom to use contraception, their wombs...(We fought that in the 50's... Are you nuts?!?!?!)

Keep alienating seniors You know--about 50% of that 47% that RMoney says he's doesn't give a sh*t about? Those folks who VOTE, no matter what... PLEASE...

Keep alienating blacks and telling them that they're second-class citizens...(unless, of course, they're bat-sh*t-crazy like Allen West...)

Keep trying to cram your social issues down the LGBT community's throats... You never had their vote anyway...This will ensure that you won't have it EVER...

God, would you teabagging extremists jus' keep doin' what yer doin'....PLEASE....

WHEN Obama wins this time, kiss your off-the-rails party good-bye. Say hello to 2-3 new Supreme Court justices that will likely ensure that the right-wing "judicial activism" that's run rampant for the last 8 years is history. Accept the idea that when the next Congress reconvenes, you're going to accept new revenues, (because the wingnuts are too afraid of seeing their holy Defense Dept cut...)

Please.... jus' keep doin' what yer doin'

Exactly, the stupidity of wind power as a energy source over natural gas. Natural gas is much cheaper per kilowatt hour and doesn't kill piles of birds.

We even worked the numbers on using wind power versus solar versus propane for cost, reliability and maintance. Propane and solar won over wind even though South Park always has the wind. Wind requires so much more maintenance and is much less reliable and more likely to need to be repaired.

Yeah, fossil fuels, (including natural gas) are such a GREAT long-term investment... Good thinking...
