Where have all the pollsters gone?
Thats a good question. We have a little thing called an election, and a few of their numbers are way off, and the pollsters hide under a rock. All we're left with is a poll or two on lip sinking.
There certainly was a bit of a backlash, and a number of these pollsters seem to be laying low following the results.
Sure, they can blame us blogsters all they want, but we got those faulty numbers from you guys, kiddos.
The Slate article linked to above is a good compendium of why the pollster's justification for the exit polls just doesn't cut it, and I'm compelled to agree.
But don't worry. I'll be here. And even if my posts aren't quite as frequent and as chock full of faulty exit poll data as before, you can bet they'll be as full of faulty irreverent humor as ever.
And speaking of being full of it, did anyone hear that Hugh Grant is going give up acting and become a brilliant scriptwriter?
