I totally understand why Moran is predicting gloom ‘n doom. And it may not be very scientific of me to disagree, but I’m with Therese (#28) — I think that in the days after the election, one of the biggest stories is going to be how it could be possible for all those dear, dear polls to be so completely inaccurate.
The problem is, the pollsters can’t help but look for confirmation of the narrative that has been shipped out over and over and over. The other problem is that the polls don’t register the extreme irritation that a lot of the country feels with having the media and a heavy-handed elitist class dictate the election to them. You can trust me on this — there’s a particular kind of passion in my battleground state that I didn’t see here in 2004 or 2006.
I can’t know who will win the election any more than Rick Moran or — sorry, kiddo — “Truth First” can. But my little guess, for what it’s worth, is that anyone who is treating the polls as gospel is going to be verrry surprised.
