Is It Live, Or Is It...

2004.

Again.

Geez, every poll was right, except in that pesky race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Now, I don't really care if the voters in New Hampshire vote for Ethyl Backbutgone, or for the two at the top of the race. Which were Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

But, when there was a shift, and only in two candidate's columns, then I got edgy.

The coffee got cold.

The search buttons clicked.

And this is what I found, courtesy of Brad Blog

The numbers were again off, but only in the 'top of the interest' race, which in 2004 was Bush vs. Kerry, and in 2008 was Clinton vs. Obama.

So, can someone answer this for me?

Why is it that the pollsters only miss in the 'important' races?

That answered, I'll sleep better tonight.

Failing an answer, I'll have to dream of 2004 all over again.

Now, for those that might have been wondering where I've been, more on that later. Be assured, it's an Odd-essey. Truly.

Sleep well, all.
