I've asked you several. So has Noone. You haven't attempted to answer even one. I've tried to engage you to learn where you're coming from and what thoughts there might be behind some of your statements but when I do I'm meet either by silence or by irrelevant insults.

If you make 1000 calls and only 200 will vote the poll isnt much good. Rasmussen pretty much nailed the last 2 election cycles.

Rasmussen himself is a Republican operative who has worked for a number of campaigns - and then denies it in his personal bio. His polling numbers always come out with the R's polling better than they do in any other major polling organization.

There si nothing wrong with doing a Poll and having your own thoughts ideas and principles, there are plenty of left leaning Polls out there aswell.

WW as someone who has written questions for polls I guarantee you that I could write a poll that would generate whatever result I wish to obtain. Let's wait until the fat lady sings.

Wont be long now till we see what happens.

I heard about a totally electronic poll last week that has him up by 14 points. Supposedly the electronic polls are more accurate because people tend to lie to human pollsters because they are scared of what the pollster will think. Sounds silly, but I could see it with some folks. Would it be a wonderful irony, or poetic justice that it ends up being Teddy's seat that kills this health care abomination.

Nice to see you back TD . . . But you're wrong. The irony I see is the GOP dreaming of getting the 41% necessary to insure that nothing gets done, and calling that victory.

Nothing will change. The GOP WON'T take that seat. Ain't gonna happen. Rest easy, Dems, your seat & supermajority in the Senate are safe as a babe in his mother's arms.

I tend to think this is probably the case. Special elections are notoriously difficult to poll, and turn out is very poor. The Democrats are a machine in Mass. and they're a little nervous about this one. They'll have the machine in full force and will get the vote out.

But you never know. It's quite surprising that it's even close. So who knows?

As long as the mother's not Brittany Spears.
