Or they could all be off. Or some could be closer than others, like in every other cycle.

It's funny how we defend the polls that say what we want them to say and the rest are shit.

Selzer's methods are solid, but it's still just one poll. We'll know pretty soon.

Basically we don't need them....I look to money she raised, those people who attend her rallies, the people who attend his rallies and leave. These are more accurate than polls......

at around 7:05 - The data ARE! The data ARE!


"Data" is the plural of "datum!"

If you want to use "data" with verbs for singular nouns, use "data set!"



Sorry that this really bugs me, but......it really bugs me.
