You're ignoring that Rasmussen shows the race has tightened by half in a week.<br /><br />And you're ignoring the obvious errors in Quinny's likely voter model.<br /><br />You're making baseless allegations with no proof. When confronted with evidence that pokes a hole in your story, you just simply expand your b.s. conspiracy theory.<br /><br />When asked for proof you attack me.<br /><br />You want to bank on the aggregate that includes some obvious junk data (with the divergence on the polling, clearly SOMEONE much be very much wrong), you go ahead chuckles.<br /><br />But nobody honestly believes this is a ten-point race. You have to rely on a flawed Quinnipiac and a historically mocked Dispatch poll to get to that aggregate. Go ahead. Believe it.<br /><br />But quit making up allegations you cannot prove, you lying hack.Modern Esquirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840547526741502336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-68756659110570826372010-09-17T11:32:31.538-04:002010-09-17T11:32:31.538-04:00Ah, the glory of progressive debate....distort rea...Ah, the glory of progressive debate....distort reality and attack the opponent rather than debate the facts.<br /><br />A classic tactic. <br /><br />Shameless, you are.<br /><br />Your denial of the reality of the race is getting downright pathetic. You cherry pick polls to prove your point. <br /><br />An aggregate of ALL polls show Ted is down 10.3%. <br /><br />With that in mind, I guess I can understand your desperation.

Fine, you...Um, you really need to switch to decaf.<br /><br />Fine, you've changed your story from they made up to one poll to making up two. Fine.<br /><br />Where's your proof? Because not you, or anyone else here, or Jai Chabra called the results of that poll two weeks ago "made up."<br /><br />You have no credibility left Keeling. You claimed a DGA event NEVER mentioned Ohio, and yet video surfaced that showed you couldn't have been more wrong.<br /><br />You claimed that Yvette McGee-Brown said something about gun rights, only to have to backpedal when the video surficed.<br /><br />You OUTRIGHT fabricated a quote by Redfern in a media interview when he said the exact opposite.<br /><br />Now, you're claiming that Strickland internal poll was made up. Oh, and so was that other one... You're a pathetic and shameless liar, Keeling.<br /><br />You know you're lying. And so does everyone else.<br /><br />I guess Strickland made up the CNN/Time, Fox News, and Rasmussen polls, too?

They have to look legit, right?<br /><br />Just admit it. You got schooled. You said the poll Matt talked about was the one with the 3 point lead. <br /><br />If you guys are gonna make numbers up to cover your butt, at least play with the numbers a bit.

By proving that more than one internal poll exists that showed it was a three point race it's getting even harder to prove your ridiculous "made it up" story.<br /><br />Unless you think they went back in time and created a paper trail of tracking polls.
