Palin's the most popular Gov. in Amercia because 500 people said so?

I couldn't find a single person at work who even knew who she was today and suddenly, according to the McCain crew, she's the most popular Gov. EVER IN AMERICA!!! Now granted her approval rating is high. But they only surveyed 500 people for this.

2. It's the usual Orwellian tactics

war is peace, slavery is freedom, etc.

And the gullible public will swallow it. Hitler knew that repeating a lie often enough would make it "true" in the eyes of the public. The Republicans also understand this.

I really wish I could wake up from this nightmare. :-(

3. she's not even

Her 80% approval is now 65% after her trooper scandal, and probably dropping still.

4. Don't you believe in statistics and sampling?

You don't need to have more than 500 randomly-sampled people to project a universe like Alaskan population.

6. Funny. !00% of the people I polled this morning say she's a corrupt hack.
