Latest ‘08 Presidential Candidates Poll Results

I want to make sure everyone who questioned Matt Towery’s credentials last week knows this, (And thanks Matt, for boldly placing it before your “analysis”):

Note: Matt Towery was a former National Bicentennial Debate Champion who began his career as a debate and speech coach to congressional and US Senate candidates in the early 1980s)

Wire,

Don’t mess with the National Bicentennial Debate Champion. He might go all fillabuster on you.

SpaceyG,

There are a lot of people who do not like embedded video. It crashes half the computers I work with (I am a programmer, so I use up to 6 different computers a day, depending on where I am or what I am doing). I will not go to a number of sites which employ too much embedded garbage.

If someone wants to view a video, how about posting a screen cap and letting them click on it, instead of forcing everyone, no matter the speed of their connection, the RAM in their computer, the firewalls they may be behind, or the speed of their processor turn their web experience into a crappy one?

Spacey, you clearly aren’t a researcher, so I’ll let the ‘raw data’ comment slide. Towery’s data is about as accurate as the oysters you’re dousing in cocktail sauce (btw, the only way to eat raw oysters is with a dot of horsraddish, drenched in butter sauce and maybe a little cocktail spread on the cracker - or suck ‘em out of the shell - kind of like sucking crawfish heads, but I digress). I deal in raw data too, Spacey, and just because he talks about ‘data’ doesn’t mean that data is accurate. Case in point: Towery’s ‘data’ told him that Ralph Reed was leading by 10 points in the middle of the afternoon on last year’s primaries. We all saw how accurate that was. His ‘data’ is manipulated (i.e., messaged) and mined, in order to mold his results. He might be dealing in ‘raw data’ but that doesn’t mean it is valid.

Spacey,

Sometimes you make about as much sense as sh!t-flavored bubblegum.
