The polls showing Bernie ahead in NH only polled people in Converses and Buddy Holly glasses!

Those sneaky pollsters, they sure know how to skew results. It's an outrage! If they allowed for different kinds of footwear and eyewear, Hillary would obviously be ahead by 80.

As I understand it, the MOE didn't fit the pollster's criteria for inclusion.

So, the results are basically for registered democrats over 50.

Not too useful.

Feel the Bern.

The concept that the polls are being skewed didnot work so well for Romney and rove
