YCFS.
At least Fox News was brilliant enough to broadcast the predictions of their top political analysts, who knew (just like you) that polls are meaningless opinions.

Well, meaningless in the case of Rasmussen and Gallup, anyway. Rove and Morris saw right through the biased polls predicting an Obama victory and called for a Romney landslide.

Good work, boys. You're doing a heckuva job.

My assessment in that thread was obviously very accurate. lol
What's the problem there Dale, not enuf "Obama is a _____!!!" threads for your tastes? Filling the blank with any n word, Muslim, fascist, racist, socialists, communists, space alien, Kenyan, terrorist, traitor, criminal....


Maybe we can move past the hate and bigotry from the birthers, teabaggers and faux news talking heads and discuss serious public policy issues for once.

Speaking of making stuff up...
I didn't say there was no math or science involved. Problem is in today's fluid society, both the math and the science are bogus.

The times, they are a changing, and until pollsters can figure out a way to overcome a flaky, slippery cell phone society, it's just a guessing game.

Wasn't he trying to tour with the spirit of MLK for a while? Wasn't that the rally in DC where faux used fake video to make it look like someone showed up?

Actually math hasn't changed for thousands of years, and science has just evolved and expanded.

Also, it wasn't a guessing game for Nate Silver who accurately predicted the election, what's your guys' excuse?

Karl Rove is the greatest white collar criminal in history in my book. He's gonna walk away with something in the neighborhood of 30 Million bucks, while delivering absolutely nothing. You couldn't pull off a smoother robbery if you walked into a place with a machine gun. Just the thought of a successful heist pulled off with a briefcase as your only weapon cracks me the hell up. Oh well.

Anyway:Fox News Pushing Karl Rove, Dick Morris Off The Air
Don Henley was absolutely spot on when he wrote: "A man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun"

Exactly. Nate Silver based his prediction mainly on these polls, which so many conservatives claimed to be false or bias. Nate was right on the money using these "data". The right (as seen on fox news) continued to not believe in the polls even when Obama was called for the win. That bubble is so frickin thick.
