I was suspicious of Gravis Marketing when I first saw it appear on RCP. Here’s an Angry Bear discussion of the firm:

http://www.angrybearblog.com/2012/09/gravis-marketing-polls-and-reporting-ii.html

So I Googled this phrase:

“doug kaplan” + florida + republican,

and the first hit was this:

Doug Kaplan – Orange County Orlando Florida Republican Party …

Altamonte Springs FL – Member
Ron Redlich Meetup Organizer 407-886-8460 [e-mail] Local Clubs and Resources = http://republican.meetup.com/626/about/

When I clicked on it, I got an error message. (That’s still the case, though it’s now the second Google hit.) That link was scrubbed, probably because the same url was posted in a comment on the Angry Bear blog post.

6. Yeah, just because he donated to Marc Rubio..

Anybody that's dumb enough to send money to that piece of lying crap is a bona fide teabagger.

[Cha]

5. Ha!..

We're ready for him..

7. It Would Be Like (Me) Claiming To Be Non Partisan And Taking Umbrage At The Suggestion I Wasn't.

12. what a great addition to the Kaplan files Day 1.

Its spreading around the internet and wondering what Day 2 will bring.

My favorite addition today was that after reading a couple of books he fulfilled his ambition by becoming a DeVry graduate!

Filling up in Yuma. Back on the road again.

I want to know if Nate Silver is going to address this fraud. He posted about this poll yesterday, factoring it into is analysis.

14. Wonder if he's one of the participants in the "Brooks Brothers riot"

Or some other "non-partisan" event.

If so, this could grow legs.

15. There could be more than one Doug Kaplan in Orlando.

16. If That's The Case

If that's the case why was the photograph of him attended a Republican meeting in Altamonte Springs scrubbed? The photo is from a screen shot.


But thanks for bumping my thread and helping me get the word out.
