How could any supposedly rational person here expected that large numbers of Hillary Clinton voters were going to turn around en masse and vote for a conservative* anti-abortion ticket?
After repeatedly pointing this out and repeatedly being called a troll for it, I finally started simply mocking the stupidity of it. Might as well be hanged as a wolf rather than as a lamb....
*The fact that McCain isn't "conservative" enough for you is irrelevant. From the perspective of a Hillary voter, he's way off to the right.
Same thing happened every single time I expressed the slightest bit of concern about the polls. I was attacked for simply trying to look objectivily at the facts. It was amazing how you’d see more people on here who could see a poll where we were down six and some how spin it with funny math to mean that McCain was winning than who would say “what a second, this isn’t good.” After a while I got sick of being attacked every time I suggested we weren’t going to get 300+ evs. I think some people were living in a fantasy land echo chamber where they purposivly blocked out any contradictory evidence.
The last Pew poll was a perfect example. It had Obama +6. And yet many on here saw it as McCain+1 because the poll had him +1 on those who did not early vote. Or that one day where Zogby had him poll up by 1. Never mind the 150 other full poll results from the previous week showing MCCain down at least four. Those clearly were all crap. Clearly the one true number was the one one day sample in a multiday tracking poll that we could find that went our favor.
