What further mischief can we expect from the Associated Press?
I am GREATLY concerned with the recent poll published by AP/Gfk that showed Obama within a point of McShame...but not for THAT reason! The internals of the poll show it monstrously constructed to be weighted with 44% Evangelicals, which is virtually DOUBLE what the PEW Center considers an accurate percentage of them in the population. Big whoop, it's one poll, who gives a flying eff?
I do.
For every election I can remember on election night, the common refrain heard from channel to channel, newspaper to newspaper is the following, "The Associated Press projects that X wins the state of Y" or that "The Associated Press projects the winner of the election to be..."
We can not afford this kind of mischief on election night. What are we doing about it???
