1. Whoa, I never looked at it that way. n/t

[aquart]

2. I don't get the "All" numbers.

[democratreformed]

7. Yeah, they don't exactly average out as shown, do they? I don't get it

either.

[troublemaker]

22. The four zones have different populations

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. total %s

[StupidFOX]

3. Yup, the South has this country by the...

berries.

[Arugula Latte]

19. Time for another Civil War.

It's time to teach the South a lesson again. I'm ready to don my Union blues.

(No offense to Southern DUers -- just the dumbshits that are wielding power beyond their numbers.)

4. Tells the whole story.

The Confederacy is falling more in love with Dear Leader every day, while the rest of the country is waking the fuck up.

Sorry "Real America," looks like you're gonna be real, real confused on November 3.

5. You fail to mention that these sectors don't have equal weight....

[Tamyrlin79]

12. Yes... a weighted average under "All" should be much more accurate.

[JPJones]

14. I don't know what you are talking about n/t

[deadparrot]

6. So isn't this good, electoral college-wise?

The red states are just getting redder, no?

[StupidFOX]

11. VERY good

As long as no other states raise a burning cross.

[DemFromMem]

9. This supports the theory that Kerry could win the EC and lose the PV

Huge leads in places like Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Georgia are skewing the poll.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. and Alabama and Indiana and Kanas and Utah and Wyoming

and South Carolina

10. God, I'm ashamed to be a "Southerner" after seeing this. We are the only

thing he's got. Damn! We've been working hard down here. Still working actually. I called 300 voters tonight. Maybe we can pull off a surprise. I sure hope so.

[BamaLefty]

17. I Know It...

I'll admit it. People in the south are generally stupid as hell when it comes to politics. Caught up in the KKK and all that dumb shit!

[Straight Shooter]

18. You should still be proud to be a Southerner

After all, every family has its weird relatives ;-)

[democratreformed]

23. LOL! Thanks.

I would wink back at ya but I'm dial-up with OLD SLOW computer and it usually won't even let me get to the smilies and such.

[ICT Liberal]

13. Wow the poll is heavily titled to the South!

If all four regions were equal, it would be * 49.25 and Kerry 48.00. The MSM will manipulate the numbers every possible way in order to prop up the puppet.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. The Way They Define The Regions...

The south has four of the ten most populous states...

20. General Discussion

Okay everybody, this isn't the end of the world.  I live in
Florida, voted Absentee and am going to 2 Rallies this
week-end in a very heavily Republican County.  SARASOTA. UH,
Katherine Harris??  Let's just get out there and vote.  I've
worked too many hours, and pounded the pavement far too long
to give-up so easily.  I can't bear the thought of having to
look at the B.F.E.E.'s for another 4 years!  Don't just get
MAD... GET EVEN!  Let's Go, PUSH BUSH - KICK DICK... OUT!

[WI_DEM]

[ChiciB1]

24. Bogus Poll

NONE OF THE POLLS ARE RIGHT!! Who are they polling?? I have caller ID and don't ever answer a number I don't know. What about cell phones??? I WON'T BACK DOWN!

25. Based on what I'm looking at here, this is a bogus poll...

...I am assuming they are doing this based simply on regional preference? what does that have to do with overall vote. The South does not make up the majority of the population in this country, so it appears to me, this poll is very weighted in that its just taking 4 regions, adding them together, and dividing them by 4. Thats not sound statistics. Am I missing something? I see no links to provide details as to poplular nationwide preference taken in total.
