- protomyth 13y agoWhen he picks your people, he is a soothsayer. When he picks the other side, he is an idiot and wrong. What else is new? If the best they've got is the North Dakota and Montana polls, then I think they may be barking up the wrong tree. Both states are really hard to predict based on new population and extreme drop in home telephone lines. I would expect the polling folks to be much better this time around.
