Inside the “poll-ercoaster”

Inside the “poll-ercoaster.” “Many a voter is truly undecided, and will in fact change his mind before Election Day — but may still tell a pollster, ‘I’m for Obama!’ simply because he enjoyed Bill Clinton’s speech at the DNC.” In other words, today’s polls don’t really mean anything, so ignore the chattering class noise-makers who tell you the race is just about over. It ain’t, not by a long shot.

  • Considering how they oversample Dems, youngsters, and undersample Reps, I'm surprised anyone bothers to listen to the results.

  • As proven by the Paul delegates, it doesn't matter who you vote for. If Corporate Greed doesn't like your candidate then they can just throw out your vote.

    • Please try to explain to me why you think Ron Paul is as pure as the driven snow and that there is no corporate greed involved with his candidacy...all just perfectly innocent puredee truth and niceness? You can't, so please stop blubbering about your guy. My guy didn't do very well either...it's way past time for tears...men accept their responsibilities, whether they like them or not and 'man up' and drive on and make the hard decisions...the adult decisions. You whine like a libtard...it's embarrassing.

      • It was not on his own. Paul only dropped out of nomination because the only alternative the cheating RNC gave him was to endorse Romney. Completely defeating the point of having competing candidates in the first place.
