it's interesting the people that called Obama weak for avoiding wars and not entering them, call Clinton weak for entering them.

Like there is zero logic and just blind hate.

There's zero logic there because it is a strawman argument that you just created. There is also no basis for saying that Obama has avoided war since he has been arming the opposition for five years that is trying to overthrow the Syrian government and he has bombed some seven different countries killing mostly civilians.

Politico and WaPo articles are starting to get pathetic. They're basically like, "SRSLY guys. The election's over. No need to vote, Republicans. Ignore those tightening polls and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

There's no fogged glasses on my part. Oversampling is not used to change polling results. It's a method used to reduce high error margins. Campaigns use polling to inform their strategies so naturally they would like to maximize what they get out of them by ensuring the information is as accurate as possible, which is what oversampling helps with. Of course, I don't know the specific context for that phrasing, but there's seriously nothing suspicious about that email.

Which part? The +9 skew is new, but the oversampling might not be. It still seems odd that Podesta would be involved with creating polling standards for major media outlets.
Do we know who he's talking to? Because it would seem like routine campaigning to outsource polling and ask for something like oversampling of key demographics to get more reliable results.

The point that I'm trying to make is that they can adjust how they oversample to better the results in their favor and not necessarily adjust it to make things accurate, like the example I gave. A little more research on my end shows that this company may be the same atlas designed around pushing the progressive movement so this collusion is expected.

As for the +9 I think that has to do with the sampling that the media is using right now where they favor democrats by 9%.

My favorite was the politico article that everyone was circle-jerking about yesterday trying to tie one of the people from O'keefe's videos to the RNC. There was no evidence given other than "our source says" or "our source suggests" compared to the O'keefe videos with representives talking their heads off.

I have no need to back it up with money.
As I suspected, no balls cash whatsoever. Pity.
Fixed

I accept souls... and other things besides cash.
I gave my soul to the dark lord already in order to fulfill my dream of working for Comcast as an Engineer.

We can wager anything you like...how about this....

Approximately 131,314,000 people voted in 2008 and 129,085,000 voted in 2012 for an average of 130,200,000. So here is my wager. If you are so certain of a historic, massive turnout for the first woman president and there are more registered voters, than obviously the turnout numbers would be higher. Correct? I propose a simple over/under bet.

Should you chose to accept this wager, if total votes cast are over 132,000,000 even by one I lose. if it's at 132,000,000 or under you lose.

Loser gets permabanned from ffxiah.

that's how certain I am that you are chock full of ***and the turnout is going to lower this year.

so put up or stfu.

I'd be willing to bet that most of the people on this website have a restraining order on anything resembling reality. And if they were to come into contact with said reality. They would fold like a lawn chair !

Given the nature of this website, and extrapolating from in-game friends and acquaintances I've met or otherwise dealt with in real life, I'd say there's a good-to-great chance you're right about 90% of the people posting.
