Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch poll 50-50, pay no attention
This headline tells us that only 8 responses separated the two candidates. They bury the important facts that undermine the results: a slight over-sampling of Republicans and that it was a mail-in survey. Yes, Friends, they only counted those that returned their questionnaire.

Ultimately, that probably means that our next President will be John Kerry. If it's that close with these biases, I like our chances.:thumbsup:

2. They probably only mailed to Dispatch subscribers as well...
The dispatch is just stupid enough to do something like that and attempt to call their results scientific.

5. 39% Dem, 38% Repug in 2000.
All that matters is that we win Independents.
