TOP NEWS Poll: Brown Has Double-Digit Lead Over Whitman LA Times/USC poll shows lead widening among women, Latinos Diarrhea Death Toll In Haiti Now Over 250 Did we say diarrhea? Oops.

To Repeat: Beware of Polls!

Sunday morning, I noted Donald Douglas’s dissection of an L.A. Times poll that appears skewed toward Democrats.  Now, Tina Hemond gets inside the numbers in last week’s poll that showed Barney Frank leading by 12 points over Sean Bielat and argues that, in fact, the race in MA-4 is a statistical dead heat.

I get tired of saying this, but we can’t let polls do our thinking for us. A Los Angeles Times poll appears to have oversampled Democrats, as Professor Donald Douglas explains at American Power. Disinformation is the new objectivity.

Have We Had A Bellyfull Of Voter Fraud Yet?

by Smitty Just reading this post by Gateway Pundit about allegations in AZ and CO. There have been startling developments in Texas, as well as the infamous DOJ New Black Panther dismissal.
