I have to make a political comment. I heard today Romney's team is planning for the transition when he's elected President. Talk about getting a bit cocky? There's still several weeks left and anything can happen. I also never trust polls. I think they are inherently biased for one candidate or the other. A poll of people who have voted early shows Obama with a huge lead, that poll may be more accrate than any since it was a poll of actual voters.

To enlighten you. All candidates running for president do these things in advance to insure a smooth transition of power. THEY ALWAYS HAVE... Both parties.

Depends on whose polling numbers you use.
This year, there have been many new pollsters making claims of Obama supremacy...but they are over-sampling Democrats to get that result. I don't think he'll win 10 states.
I'm certain that Romney wins the popular vote and near certain that he's going to surprise us all with command of the electoral vote too.
But not so certain that it will matter. I pray we still have a representative republic by January 20, 2013

Kind of like "accidentally " omitting California's unemployment figures from the calculations before the big release.
Pollsters can make a poll say whatever they want.
Controlling sample ratios is only one small trick in a big ol bag of lies.
Any of y'all ever study statistics I wonder?
