CNN just said they sampled more republicans for the post-debate poll! Carville calls bullshit.

Carville said it was clearly way off. CNN just admitted they sampled more republicans AND the results may have been "skewed" in favor of Romney. Rather a problem!

that more Republicans just turned out to be in their random sample?

Because if it is the second case, then we can hardly complain because that's what's been happening in the polls that have been favoring Obama up till now, and we've been laughing at the Rethugs who've been complaining that there weren't enough of them in the sample.

I was shocked at first, before reading this DU thread. So my new take: "NOT. BUYING. IT."
