NOTE ~ totally seperate issue ~ dismissing polls with bad news ~ no, i have been busy coming up with reasons to dismiss all polls for several years now.

This year virtually all the pollsters gave up simply reporting the data as they received it by calling people and began filtering it with OTHER information ~

In doing that they managed to destroy whatever value random sampling lent to any polls ~

I would have rather counted pigeon droppings on sidewalks ~ truly a random array ~ than accept any of these polls without a lot more information about them than any of the pollsters would tell us.

And you were wrong in your predictions that Romney would win, and we were right in our predictions that Obama would win.

Empiricism suggests that your approach be relegated to the dustbin.
