11. Actually, no... the last 613 respondents
could not have changed the rate from 41% to 43%... however, that view is not a correct representation of the change.

What happened, I think, is that all responses are weighted to the returns, and the chips fell where they may. So, just as Kerry ended up losing in the final poll, even when those last 613 respondents could not have swung the poll, so did every other percentage in the poll.
