    Major, do you have census data on each person polled? No you don't. You don't know their age, gender, race, political stance. You are pretending like you do, but you don't. The voters are comprised of screen names on the internet. That's all you've got to work with.

    As stated, this poll has zero predictive value.

    You are the one who said "No women, almost all young voters, huge liberal bias."

    Correct, and that was all guesswork. Certainly nothing to base a poll on and then go trumpeting its predictive value.

    No, I don't - and it's unnecessary to see a relative shift depending on who is running because, well, it's *relative*. No one is making absolute judgments from poll - just looking at trends.

    As stated, just because you don't understand anything about analyzing polls doesn't mean other people don't.

    I like Obama enough that this is the first election I wouldn't just be choosing the lesser of two evils(or refusing to, since I usually vote third party). It would be someone I actually like, and support most of their ideas, and leadership style.

    I didn't vote in McCain vs. Clinton match up, because I don't like either of them and would vote 3rd party.

    I did vote for Clinton over Romney, because I think Romney is that dangerous.

    What the **** are you talking about? Mitt "Man-of-the-People" Romney eats Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Anyway, Romney is a panderer and panderers are not dangerous. Plus, Romney is well-versed on economic issues and he's corny (asking a black baby if he's wearing "bling-bling..." hilarious!). Voting for Romney would be like buying a t-shirt with an ironic 80s pop culture reference ironed on it.

    Well according to SamFisher's sage prediction, the "cell phone voter" was going to be what put Forbes Kerry into the White House. Now Major is hanging his hat on the same flawed principles.

    OOPS

    Texxx, I see you digging out this chestnut from the days of yore. I challenge you, my young friend, to find a dedicated hardline user among the under 35 set in most urban areas. They are a dying breed akin to VCR's and typewriter repairmen. Soon these dinosaurs will be finished, and the joke will be on you.

    God I LOVE how Obama has the wingnuts pissing their pants!

    Oh what will they do when a half black man is president?

    Probably try and assassinate him.

    Samf, I do not deny that land lines in the home are indeed a relic of yesteryear, but the demographic that you were referring to simply does not show up in force come election time.

    Son when you learn to respect a man and can make a point about them without slandering their name or race then maybe people around here will take you seriously.

    Um, don't you think this post should be directed at your liberal/dem buddies SamFisher and KingCheetah, given their latest nonstop race/ethnic-baiting posts on posters of Chinese origin?

    Your attacking on bigtexxx is ironic, vile, and pathetic.

    So my so called attack is pathetic but texxx's blatant racism is perfectly acceptable.

    Got it!

    I'm not racist. Calling me racist doesn't make me racist, child.

    I don't agree any discussion and debate on race-related issue should be reduced to the racial motives of a poster.

    But your liberal/dem buddies SamFisher and KingCheetah took it to a whole new level -- other than to harass posters of certain ethnic background on a privately owned- and moderated-forum, their latest slew of race-baiting and sinophobic posts had no merit nor relevance to the topics at hand.

    I can't believe I need to point this out to you.

    Or maybe I don't have sense of humor.
