See some excellent polling analysis at posts 236 & 265 from Future Useless Eater
Thanks, BD, for one of the best pings you’ve ever sent me—which is saying something!
Thank YOU, FUE, for that great analysis! I read every word, and it was fascinating. I have a much better picture of what’s going on now. Cain is on a roll—as well he should be. He’s the best of the lot in the same sense that Secretariat was the best the year he won the Triple Crown.
As an aside, I have a very, very bad attitude toward RealClearPolitics. They come across as completely indifferent to a poll’s integrity or methodology; if somebody puts it out there, they average it in. Polls are taken that clearly favor Dems out of all proportion, and RCP treats them w uncritical respect. There was the case of that polling firm that KOS had to fire, because they cooked the books in favor of Dems. RCP had meekly accepted all their wildly skewed results, and after the fraud was exposed nothing whatsoever appeared on RCP acknowledging they had been bamboozled. Your analysis is great and I really appreciate it, but my opinion of RCP remains slug-belly low. They are not neutral, fair or honest brokers.
