The McCain Mutiny
Posted in WM_archive on October 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I first saw the expression the “McCain Mutiny” over at Crooks and Liars, and thought, well duh. Hadn’t thought of it before I saw it, but once I did, it was kinda like of course.

Lies, damned lies, and election polls

I found this article by Simon Rosenberg on HuffPo to be a reassuring read: As we head into the home stretch, it is going to be important for those analyzing the election not to confuse McCain gaining a few points with him once again having the opportunity to win the election. The Pollster.com national polling [...]
