Interesting Polling Discrepency Article

Headline article in todays PI on polling disparities, which are numerous. I've been impressed by Zogby's outspoken comments, although he's clearly not a social scientist in the traditional sense. Certainly much has to do with sudden volatility (once again, America is partly at the mercy of people who would vaccillate between, say Roosevelt and Caligula "I don't know, it seems like Caligula is the straight shooter - the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer or ravage a few Stygian slave girls before you sent them into the tiger pit with." The large Gallup (USA-CNN) leads for Bush look suspicious when 38% of those polled are Rs, 31% Is, and 31% Ds in one of the post-convention polls. That isn't even close to to registration by party or likely turnout.

The only sensible conclusion is that it's a pie fight, and it's going to stay a pie fight, and whoever throws the most and best pies with the greatest accuracy is likely to take it, and then if the clowns are running the country I'm going to Nader's house and fill his discount tube socks with tapicoa pudding.
