Four Years ago
Here is a little history to remember Polls are not scientific, in fact as a good friend says if your major has the word science in it, it's not science, Political Science, Computer Science, Physics, which is truly science?
A Little History
—Slublog
Have I mentioned how much I love the PUMAs?
Just a few reminders of what was being said before the 2004 election:
Zogby's call? Kerry, 311; Bush, 213.
The electoral vote call made by one of those aggregating sites?
Electoral Vote (based on composite polls) - Kerry 298, Bush 231
NBC's Chuck Todd was so confident of a Kerry win, he called the race in May 2004:
If you look at key indicators beyond the neck-and-neck support for the two candidates in the polls--such as high turnout in the early Democratic primaries and the likelihood of a high turnout in November--it seems improbable that Bush will win big. More likely, it's going to be Kerry in a rout.
Polls are not science, pundits are not psychic and nothing is decided until the final ballot is cast tomorrow.
Or, in the event of a narrow McCain win, until the Obama lawyers lose their final appeal to the Supreme Court.Of every one hundred men in battle, ten should not even be there. Eighty, are nothing but targets. Nine are the real fighters, we are lucky to have them since they make the battle. Ah, but the one—one is the Warrior—and he brings the others home. —Heracletus
