My favorite exposure of the public "pollsters" and their left wing media CUSTOMERS as bullshitters is still the Sunday before 1980, when the best they could dig up for RONALDVS MAGNVS was a 2-point lead in about half the "polls", which claimed a 3-4 point M of E.

The journalists were all "split", and trying to look like they were hedging, because it was JUST TOO CLOSE.

The Reagan landslide shocked the world-and I haven't paid any attention to the public "pollsters" since. Nor have they gotten any more accurate since.

We will see and hear the same "too close to call" bullshit right up to November 1. It explains only why the parties hire their OWN pollsters-at great expense-and they NEVER ask, "Who are you going to vote for?"

The DIFFERENCE this year-with the media fractionalized as it is-will be the "big story" of November 3: HOW COULD THE POLLSTERS HAVE MISLED US SO BADLY?-by missing the 50-state Bush landslide.

The answer: It's long past time for a WHOLE NEW SET of carnival-berkers, "pollsters" and "journalists" alike...
