So what you are saying is that who does the poll is more important than the polls accuracy?

It doesn’t occur to you at all, that a Democrat poll could be gamed to support the candidate the Left might desire?

Really? Wow...

Folks, this has long since crossed the line of sane support for a candidate.

We’re now even encouraging Conservative candidates to pull out so Perry can run unopposed.

It’s flat out embarrassing to watch you folks stoop to this.

Ironically, PPP polls, despite their origin, are one of the more accurate polls out there. And IIRC, to the extent they had a bias, it was actually towards Republican candidates last year.

The only time I have seen any poll on here not called leftist is when Palin was winning in it.

I don't really believe in polls anymore. They are used to drive public opinion, not measure it.
