The ‘Unskewed Polls’ guy who fooled a nation tries again [Grifter Not Quite Done Grifting Yet]
roanoke.com ^ | 11/20/12 | Dan Casey

Posted on 11/20/2012 8:32:45 PM PST by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle

When last we left Dean Chambers, the Duffield, Va., resident was licking his wounds in Virginia’s coal fields, trying to figure out how he’d fooled himself and much of a nation into believing the Mitt Romney would win the election.

Chambers, 45, the founder of UnskewedPolls.com, ultimately decided he had incorrectly forecast that too few Democrats would vote. He admitted this mistake. Now, it appears he’s reconsidering.

Recently he launched a new website, BarackOFraudo.com. It seeks to understand how four states that he had incorrectly predicted would go to Romney — Virginia, Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania — actually went to Obama.

He’s decided that was due to voter suppression and yes, voter fraud:

That millions of potential Republican voters, that vote for McCain in 2008 while far less enthused about doing so, did not turn out to vote for Romney in 2012 clearly proves the voter suppression campaign waged by the mainstream media and to some extent by the Democrat Party, worked quite well.

While the overall strategy was voter suppression, it is clear from viewing these stats that boosting the turnout in key swing states (the ones in yellow above) was taking place as well.

Without further or more detailed proof, there is objectively two ways to increase voter turnout on the side of those supporting Obama, as it clearly did happen in some key swing states: either get more real people out to vote who will vote for Obama, or stuff the ballot boxes and engage in a variety of vote fraud and vote scamming methods. Odds are quite likely, to maximize their odds of succeeding in getting President Obama elected, that they engaged in all of the above to make it happen.

I wrote a column about Chambers the Sunday after the election, when it appeared he was taking stock of the problem with believing the “news” he had created. Then, he was coming around to the idea that he’d been helping the emperor pick out his new clothes.

But Chambers seems to have switched horses, and is now arguing that he wasn’t wrong — that suppression and fraud handed the president a win.

The chief danger here is that he’ll fool himself — and others — again, which will not serve GOP interests in future elections.

On the other hand, he made some good money “unskewing” those polls and fooling Republicans before. Perhaps he’s simply up to his old tricks again, and writing stuff he knows people want to hear.

LOL!

They punked you pretty bad, didn’t they?

“Even though he hit me this election,he said he wouldn’t hit me next election. I love my voting system and want to believe him.”

You’re so p0wn3d.

Not even remotely.

Swing and a miss, kiddo.

It’s the look of total resignation on the cat’s face that makes that pic.

After some of the mouth breathers I've had flailing ineffectually at me this morning, all knees and elbows and tell-tale juice box breath: I'm beginning to realize exactly how he feels. ;)

To: generally

I’ve been studying it since the 2000 “election”, and I’ve think I’ve got it pretty much figured out.

n00bi3s like Kent are still trying to wrap their mind around it.

You have to forgive him - he still isn’t bright enough to move out of Washington state, which kind of tells you where he’s at. “Stockholm syndrome”, I believe they call it.

You're funny. I guess it isn't rape, if you've actually convinced yourself it isn't rape...

You remind of The Gimp in Pulp Fiction. :-0

I'll leave you to your Progressive leather & "other" fantasies now. I've got real stuff to do.

You can go nuts on me & heap scorn on me while I'm gone, but it'll be just you, your friends and that cookie in the center.

Perhaps I'll be back in several days. :-)

And you remind me of any random poster at DU, or the Daily Kos.

Toodles, twink. ;)

To: Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America

i believe that KentTrapped in Liberal Seattle has been trapped there for so long that the liberal air they breathe up in the Pacific Northwest has infected his brain.

sure Romney wasn’t the ideal comservative candidate, but i don’t think whomever that ideal candidate might have been would have beat Obama either. Newt might have fought a better fight, but i don’t believe the outcome would have been any different. the MSM would have had a field day reminding voters of Newt’s past mistreatment of his wives, and otherwise painting him as some rabid extremist

with the MSM Obama propaganda organ covering for him 24/7, and the known propensity for Demoncratic treachery and voter fraud, with Obama’s obfuscation about any of his vital records, with Obama’s penchant for using every underhanded trick in the book to win elected office—for Kent to suggest that vote fraud was not somehow part of the reason Romney lost is buying into the MSM meme that this was an honest election. when have the Chicago thugs every fought fairly?

i think that America is beyond redemption, as we sink into some 3rd world socialist cesspool where the takers are after every last taxpayer penny that they can get hold of, and the Demoncrats can’t wait to offer every illegal as many tax-funded freebies as possible to get their vote next election.

so, if a conservative Republican, were ever to run and win another election nationwide, it will take a miracle for that to happen. and i don’t want the Republicans to become a Democrat-lite party as the only way to win another election, because what choice would that offer any us? none.

Oh, and that ObamaZed loves him...

I'm pretty sure The Kent is fantasizing about that, too...

Apparently, I've been a "liberal troll" since March of 1997...

They got ash, billypaul & Eschoir, but they'll never get me, heeheehee!!!

Seriously??? For weeks you couldn’t read a thread here on FR where this wasn’t touted as gospel. Now when they, and most everyone here on FR were shown to be wrong, they are mocked?

That’s throwing under the bus worthy of Obama.

I never once, even remotely, treated the "UnSkewedPolls.com" craziness as anything but that: an unfortunately virulent online pathogen, wafted from hysteric to well-meaning hysteric.

How any/all other loonies hereabouts may have handled things, in comparison, is scarcely my fault, is it? ;)
