AceRimmer Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 This is proof positive that Newsweek is not only liberal biased, but on hallucinagens. No wonder they were bought for $1, nobody is buying their crap anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollyannaish Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Maybe we could learn from them. I personally don't like the number I see on the scale. I'm going to reweight that to say that clothes take up a bigger percentage. Hey! Did you guys know I weight 115 pounds now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I vote by mail in my Jefferson County, Colorado. I received my voter card, a blue book that gives Pro & Con on the amendments, judicial reviews & other interesting info, with a notice that I would have my ballot within 7-10 days. Included with the information was the statement that 60+% of all voters, were mail-in voting.....so, how would you count that regarding your poll projections?

Jill Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 So these hacks "weighed" this poll of theirs by assuming a 10% drop-off in turnout for republicans from 2008, but kept the democrat turnout the same? Why the rag is often spelt correctly as Newsweak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
