Surprising... Dickie Morris in the past viewed polls as gospel and his pontifications were always based on polling data.

Dick Morris on Fox. He maintains that no one knows how this election will go because the make-up of the voting public this year is uncharted. Claims the polls are either willfully slanted towards Obama or just clueless. It's an interesting argument. He reiterated that the polling models being used are obsolete.

While that seems obvious to me...I'm mildly disturbed that Morris agrees with me.

I think we all have been saying this here.

Registering people is different than having them vote.

Skewing the polls because of anticipated turnout that has never happened in history is manipulation.

Dick was right about Hillary... and I am in agreement with him now.

The polls are junk. But I do know how the electrorate is spread. 49% dem 51% Rep... with more dems voting for republicans this year.

I didn’t like hearing the doom and gloom of Bob Grant this evening. I had to turn him off.

That doesn’t make me feel good. Dick Morris is the kiss of death.

Not caring what Dick Morris says, I *know* these polls have been slanted and based on crap, because I know that PUMAs and others have been intentionally lying to pollsters. No poll can compensate for what happens when people say one thing and vote the opposite. Polls, propaganda, and horse poop - - all the same thing!

Just go vote!

Whenever Morris says something I agree with...

I reexamine my beliefs very carefully.

I hope we do have 130 or 135 million voters tomorrow. That will demonstrate at long last whether we have a liberal or conservative nation. Numbers that large would also be enough to nullify ACORN corruption.

Bob Grant is ALWAYS a doom and gloomer!!! I still love him though. Bob’s getting up in years and hasn’t gotten into the internals of the polls, which when read correctly, show Obama’s DOOM RATING is a 10 out of 10 with 10 being a metaphysical certainty.

I truly believe that McCain will not only win but will take in with him the house and senate on his coattails. I have not trusted any of these polls. This whole election cycle has been filled with the most biased reporting I have ever seen in my 48 years.

I wonder if the MSM will apologize when the riots start on Wednesday?

Newt said there is social pressure not to say you are not voting for Obama. This is especially so with Obama and surrogates pulling out the race card almost everyday. Obama over polled in the primaries. We shall find out soon.

For once. (or twice) Morris is right.

Remember the Rush fans who switched to Dem.

Remember the Party Unity My Ass Dems that wanted a woman in the Oval Office.

Remember that the polling companies called all this wrong in 2004 and 2000 and 1992 and 1994 and 1996.

Remember that in Exit polling, Dem voters are much more likely to TAKE THE TIME to talk to pollsters. Republican voters had to get back to work, pick up their kids, and such.

Remember that the Gallup poll is currently polling “likely voter” model: 39%D, 31%I, 29%R
