How are Polls Weighing Dem Voter Registration and are they Factoring in Turnout?
IMHO, the polls aren't worth shit if the two things in the title aren't being taken into account. The voter registration is far and beyond in favor of the Dems. So why are polling companies polling Dems and Rethugs equally when it's not likely to be that way on election day? Another thing that'll be in our favor is turnout...something I think polling groups aren't factoring in AT ALL! How can we call Gallup and Rasumussen accurate when everyone knows more Dems will be voting in November than Rethugs?

I say the polls right now ARE BUNK!!

1. Go canvas and you will see, the poles are shit. The media and the polling corps need a close race.

2. The Polling Organizations Assume All of Our New Voter Registrations Will be Thrown Out
and then some, judging by the weighting they are using towards the Repiggies.
