Ward Research List Hawaii as a tie??????????

What the hell is Ward Research?!!! Three drunken frat boys, or what?

1. There are 2 new polls out showing it within the margin of error

on one of the polls some DUers said it oversampled republicans. But I don't know about the other. They said something about it only sampling 2/3's of the population or something. Oahu maybe. And they said that that part of the state had the largest military population. Do a search for Hawaii in the DU engine and you'll find plenty of threads on this phenomenon

2. Oversampled repubs?

One of two polls that claimed a tie used:

41% Repugs 31% Democrats

3. Anyone who is worried about HI is a moron.

Those polls are bogus. HI is ours by 10+ points.

5. As long as I can remember, Hawaii has ALWAYS gone Democratic.

And there's no way Dipshit is going to reverse that in November.

You're absolutely right, Zynx. Kerry will comfortably win Hawaii.

4. 12% were undecided in one

The Incumbent Rule could kick in pretty heavily there.
