We used to love him, when he said what we wanted to hear.

5. So does Paul Krugman

And Greg Sargent and Gene Robinson work for the Washington Post. Are they lying corporatists? Did you know Rachel Maddow works for a very, very large corporation?

3. Ain't that the truth..
only it's not just Silver, some of the people here seem to be claiming ALL the polls and the prognosticators are either crooked, wrong or both. Why?....Simply because they have us losing.

6. The First DU Rule of Polls and Prognosticators
is that only those bearing good news are valid.

Everything else is wrong and must be dismissed with extreme prejudice.

9. Yup. The latest WSJ/NBC poll was very welcome here
Because it shows that we are closing the enthusiasm gap, which is welcome news.

The question wasn't, "Is this poll conducted by companies owned by Murdoch and General Electric"? The question was, "Do I like the results"?
