That's hardly good news. His candidate is moving in the wrong direction and is nearly out of time to "turn around" -pun intended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-34671802546119622162010-09-26T00:37:49.816-04:002010-09-26T00:37:49.816-04:00Saw it on Enquirer's website and now I can'...Saw it on Enquirer's website and now I can't find it. 49-45 Kasich. Senate race still a total blowout for Portman. It didn't give much in the way of internals, and offhand, I don't remember if it was RV or LV. I'd think it would be LV this late in the game.Troynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-77796894759192414782010-09-25T20:42:05.181-04:002010-09-25T20:42:05.181-04:00Well said, Baghdad Esquire.

The Ohio Poll is the gold standard of polling in Ohio. It has, by far, the best track record in the state of any state or national poll.<br /><br />It's near the top of Nate Silver's rankings.<br /><br />Your "aggregate" is crap because it's unduly influenced by a minority of polls showing the race at margins TWICE what the majority of the most recent polling says. <br /><br />Like me, you know the result. That's why you attempt to pre-empt the bad news with this post by dismissing a poll because of its results, not because of any problems with it.<br /><br />Both the Strickland campaign and Mary Taylor have told their respective supporters that their internals show a much tighter race than the public polling. Team Kasich doesn't even buy your aggregate theory as a true measure of the State of the race because they know that aggregate is filled with junk polling data.<br /><br />That bead of sweat rolling down your forehead as you try to spin a poll before the results are even publicly known is a big tell.<br /><br />After the RGA and Kasich hit Strickland as hard as they could in August, it's starting to close. Invacare worked. Strickland's positive ads are having a profound affect on the race.<br /><br />You keep spinning from the cheap seats, Keeling. Those of us who are actually here on the ground have some work to get done.Modern Esquirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840547526741502336noreply@blogger.com
