Graham is chair of intelligence committee and has the nerve to claim the intelligence is all W's fault.

Pu-leeze!

ANYONE can take a poll and have the results come back the way they want them.

It's all in who you ask.

You want to show your side is better? Poll mostly people from your side and TA DA! Your side has the most votes.

Real accurate!:rolleyes:

I get polled by telephone on occassion. Does this mean there is a list somewhere that has my political and ecomomic views alongside my phone number?

Not true! I gave you fair warning that I'm a "love'em & leave'em" kind of guy. Not in a Dowding-esque, way, though.

He doesn't stand a chance, actually. But if it did come down to him or Dubya I'd vote Sharpton.

i disagree, sharpton has a good chance to win , 3 of the demos didn't show up for the NAACP meeting so Mefumie said they are out, that leaves 5 white boys left, sharpton will get the black vote, the white liberal anti-war vote, the white liberal enviro vote, the white liberal' guilty about slavery' vote.

now i know some of the groups overlap, but with under the table arab oil money and the help of the media he has a good chance to be president of the united states of america.

At the risk of having DMF tell me I'm full of sheeeit, convenience samples are the worst form of "statistics." Unfortunately, most opinion polls are nothing but that. One cannot simply apply the statistic to the population, yet the media does it all the time.

If by convenience samples you mean self-selected polls such as call-ins or Internet polls, then you're absolutely correct. They hold absolutely no validity, and we cannot generalize the results to the population.

However, random sampling (or more realistically, some near-random form of sampling such as cluster sampling), provided you poll enough people and present questions in a scientific manner, yields very reliable data that we may generalize to the population.
