Come on... it's really http://wonkette.com/412361/all-193-of-republicans-support-palin-romney-and-huckabee">not that tough to count to 193.

The best part is their reply to Media Matters: "We were just talking about three interesting pieces of information from Rasmussen," Petterson said. "We didn't put on the screen that it added up to 100 percent."

1. Polls are always based on interesting pieces of information
that are answers to specific questions. Non of that icky statistic stuff or making sure the questions are
asked w/ out bias.

They were caught doing this again yesterday ..... Obama saving 200 billion became 2 billion.

2. Hey, Fox is better at math than they are at facts.
At least the math involves numbers. Their so called "facts" don't fit any classification even remotely similar.
