    Default Paying People to Lie to You Has Consequences

    To add, some hear what they want to hear.


    "Dan Senor talks of a "systemic" crisis in right-wing polling that misled the Romney campaign."

    "With due respect to Dan, a smart & conscientious guy, the crisis is not in the world of right-of-center polling. It's in the world of right-of-center poll consumers. What Gallup and Rasmussen did was assume that minorities must be disenchanted with Obama. That's not polling science, it's punditry -and as we now see, it was bad punditry."

    "What happened to the pollsters was nothing more complicated than the old programmer rule: Garbage In, Garbage Out."

    They convinced themselves during the Bush years that they could create their own realities if they just insisted hard enough. Problem is that only works for a while before it starts crashing down.

    I too am disappointed with misleading on this topic. Nice job. Susan Rice advise you on the talking points?
