That they may be setting you up for a big surprise and then will call it an upset? For example, it's almost even in Indiana. What if Hillary wins by 10 points? Some pollsters are saying Obama is ahead by 15 points in NC. What if he only wins by 4-6 points? What will they say then? Do you have the uneasy feeling that we are being "set-up" by some of these pollsters? Do you feel that the tide has turned against Obama in the polls and in the media in the last few weeks? You are not alone.

1. I don't think pollsters are intelligent enough to do such things. |
|
But you never really said what you mean, so I'm having a difficult time offering any real comment.

2. Yes! I have to remind myself that polls are not like baseball standings... |
|
...you can't control either, but at least the standings are based on real statistics.

I've never been more ashamed of our political system. Specifically the tactics of HRC. If she wins the Nomination, I'm leaving the democratic party - for good!
