<<The 500 person sample is certainly large enough to generate a scientifically valid survey.>>

I would agree if the population being sampled were homogenous. However, it isn't, so it becomes necessary to actually disaggregate the population, and then sample. I still don't think a sample used to test normal political issues (really only 2 sides) is appropriate for this situation.
