1. That is the dumbest thing I have ever seen.
Those statistics are probably normal for the entire country. The repukes would likely do worse. Most people don't pay any attention to politics.

2. I got the same thing from my right wing friend.
These people are so delusional. I just delete stuff like this and don't even reply. I just don't want to get into a discussion with these people.

3. Another Monty Python sketch in the making. How come every time I listen to Republicans
I am reminded of the duck/witch scene in "The Holy Grail?"

4. You're gonna love this interview with the founder of that site, John Zeigler.

He's such a classy douche! :rofl:

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/11/interview-with-john-ziegler-on-zogby.html

NS: What was the right answer to that question?
JZ: The technically accurate question is that none of the four people said that, but we counted it as correct if they said Sarah Palin.

NS: Why would you commission a survey question with no correct response?
JZ: The purpose of the question, you pinhead, was we wanted to determine the Tina Fey Effect.

<...>

NS: Would you consider yourself well-informed?
JZ: I’d consider myself extremely well-informed.

NS: Who are the two senators from South Dakota?
JZ: Thune and, uh, Johnson.

NS: Very good. South Carolina?
JZ: Go fuck yourself. I’m done with this interview if you’re going to ask me stupid questions like that. Obviously I know who Lindsay Graham is.

NS: Well, since you’re running a website calling people misinformed, I’d like to see if — there are certain things you’ve said that I would consider misinformed.
JZ: Misinformed? You’re a piece of work! You are never going to have the guts to post a representative transcript on your website! I thought you actually ran a legitimate website!

NS: Thank you, have a good day.
JZ: Go fuck yourself.

7. Someone should go around asking McCain supporters who got a "D" rating among veterans'
groups and who got a "B," who cheated on his wife, who speaks in tongues, who was prayed over by a witch doctor, who was a member of a group that wanted to secede from the U.S., etc.

9. Nate at fivethirtyeight.com has done some great work with respect to that site.
I recommend having a look when you have about a half an hour to sit and read. Today's post about hate radio possibly destroying conservatism is an interesting read as well imo and dovetails with his work on howobamagotelected.com.
:hi:

11. You have to wonder how many people he interviewed to get those answers.
50? 100? 500? How many to get the 12 who didn't know the answers to his bullshit questions.

Who controls Congress? My answer. The Senate is split, and the Republicans use the filibuster religiously to block any and all legislation the Democrats put forth. And, since legislation has to pass both houses of Congress, then the Republican Senators are are holding all of Congress hostage.

12. All that proves is that the intelligent voters paid no attention
to the far-right, lunatic fringe, conspiracy-theory talking points.
