Sorry Gay Dude...the bump is already fading a way
In one of the three videos, Henri makes a contemptuous reference to cheeseburgers.
So your lack of understanding extends to basic math?
That is not surprising.
Why would an average that includes a biased poll be useful?
Oh, I get it.
You have no idea what "margin of error" means.
Obama's last chance of retaining the presidency is to win the debates.
Will this race be close? Probably. But there is still the DNC Convention, still the debates, so my guess is Obama isn't exactly packing his bags yet. Will this race be close.
I think you've got it backwards, Rmoney's only chance of becoming President is winning the debates, and I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
(Bennett did record "Look of Love" for his legendarily terrible 1970 "hits of today" album, kicking off a decade that culminated in his near-fatal cocaine overdose.)
So back to Hal David - here's a wonderful live clip: Ella Fitzgerald and her band effortlessly finding all the glory in "I'll Never Fall in Love Again". Since it's a showtune ("Promises, Promises") I hope Dan finds a dance mix of this to play at his upcoming Showbox DJ battle vs. Ira Glass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wd-apDwG…
So you still don't understand "margin of error"?
No problem.
Keep on embarrassing yourself in public.
Obama will easily win the debates by brining up the fact that Romney refuses to release as many tax returns as Obama released.
What's Romney hiding?
Obama wasn't afraid to release them.
Why is Romney afraid to release them?
But then you're a sad troll who defends racists and bigots.
Everybody thought 'W's long "...uhs" would sink him and Mitt doesn't have those verbalization issues.
Did you figure out "margin of error" yet?
No?
So keep avoiding it.

@14 His lap smacking was annoying the hell out of me during his acceptance speech. Also 1980 had the iranian hostage crisis and an active 3rd party candidate (John Anderson. 1980 isn't a great comparison to this year.
Another odd polling fact from this year, democrats have have been sharing a fair amount of their own internal polling numbers this year, where the republicans have yet to release any. Historically, if your not showing (crowing) them, it usually means things are looking weaker than 'underdog' status.
Nate Silver is the man.
So the magic underwear isn't why they walk funny.
@26 Funny in that grain of truth way, thank you.
@24/ Self. Meant Lip smacking Romney, as in this... http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/31…
@29 Yeah, saw that visual I was sending out the split second I hit post. Bad fingers, no cookie for you!
And for no reason than I'm still enamored over the Gangnam Style video, here's the Oregon Duck's version (not sure why 'Sexy' is edited out)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDpgzn7K…
I should offer remedial classes in math.
:)
No, the margin of error is not "assumed".
And since there are different margins of error for different polls, they cannot be averaged.
I don't think you understand what "margin of error" is.
"If the difference between two candidates is less than, say 3-5%, then it's statistically meaningless to talk about the race because it's within the margin of error."
Okay, now I know you don't know what "margin of error" is.
Look it up on Wikipedia.
Here, I'll help you.

And the original point what how GDfR is ignorant of basic facts and refuses to address issues.
Vote you fools. Make sure you're registered now, have the I.D. needed ready for the polls, know what measures and candidates are on the ballot, and find out where your polling place is. Don't assume Obama can win another four years without your one, tiny insignificant vote. Voter apathy is the reason our country is currently run by religious zealots and corporations.

Not true all during Bush. Started 2010.
WTF global justice system?
Any religion based on hair-splitting, word-parsing, literal interpretation is, in my opinion, inferior to a spiritual pursuit or aspiration based on broadly-shared principles. Nor is any religion better than just being a generous, caring, kind person who respects and helps others, out of secular altruism.
You know, you two idiots can blather all you like, but you'll never escape the fact that WBush was the conservatives' darling, and he was the most incompetent president in well over a hundred years. Worse than Harding, worse than Coolidge (who were both conservative.) Sure, go ahead, rah-rah for Romney. The only reason you do that is because conservatives value authority, being told what to do, and hive-mind thinking. You're doing as you're told. But you're leaders are idiots at best, evil geniuses at worse. The Bush/Cheney pair up. You have nothing of value to offer America. That doesn't mean that Obama is a saint. It just means that your political views are worthless.
Then maybe you can point out who the "conservative" candidate was in both of the elections where Bush was the Republican candidate.
No, you cannot, can you.
All you can do is defend racists and bigots.
You have a very sad life.
Bailo that's the breakdown of those polled by Rassmussan not the demographics of the country. Thanks for proving our point about their Republican bias.
Are you getting that directly from the source? I'm just going by things that have been written about Mormon doctrine, so I may be missing some details, but I think I read that the Book of Mormon refers to "hot drinks" without clearly specifying what that means, but the term was understood by Mormons to mean tea and coffee, but not hot chocolate or, presumably, things like hot apple cider. So "hot" here didn't refer to temperature, but then when it comes to cola, apparently it does. Presumably ice coffee or ice tea is also prohibited. Crazy ass Mormon rules.
(That's not why I dropped mine; I resented being charged NOT to be listed in the landline phonebook.)
A poll that includes only those who can afford a completely superfluous convenience will probably skew it Republican.
My info is second-hand, from a Dr. Pepper-addicted Mormon who explained the "rules" to me as he and his family practice them. I was friends with another pair of Mormons years ago who specifically avoided tea and coffee, but not herbal tea. So, I'm kinda deducing here what the "correct" mainstream interpretation of the Book is. Admittedly, it's based on a small sample, but I am certainly unqualified to interpret their scripture for them on my own.
And no, that last sentence doesn't negate my assertion about literal interpretation vs. loopholes vs. broad principles of ideal human social behavior.
