Grasping for right wing polling straws

[titaniumsalute]

The man next to me a a trade show started talking about Obama losing and yes lining up lawyers to fight it. I said it was touhh to see that since Obama is leading in all of the polls. He said not Gallup and Rasmussen.

Then it hit me. That is exactly what Gallup and Ras wanted. The right wingers to think Romney is leading all the way. I calmly explained my research career in polling and audience measurement. Then proceeded with the numerous flaws in both Ras and Gallup. He didn't want to hear any of it. He only wants to see what he wants to believe.

is the degree to which one can maintain a belief system in the face of overwhelmingly contrary evidence.

Really!

Read Mooney's The Republican Brain some time if you haven't already.
