What do you mean you had to pick other candidate?

Was it like:

Who would you pick as the republican nominee?

Press 1 for Rudy Giuliani
Press 2 for Mitt Romney
Press 3 for Fred Thompson
Press 4 for John McCain
Press 5 for other candidates

yes press 7 for other and RP was the first arfter that. Sad to say Huchabee was listed as # 6 before other.

THAT explains why all the "second tier" candidates except Huckabee do so poorly in the Rasmussin polls. This methodology is STRONGLY BIASED against all the candidates lumped under other.

Could you please share this story with the editors at pollster.com? They write stories explaining why some polls give different results than others and attack bad polling methodology. If they do a story about this, we can use it attack Rasmussin poll results.

Hey Steve,

Good to see you here.

BTW I was the VT coordinator for the Gary Nolan campaign.

This so-called scientific polling is such a sham. Just another piece of bullshit in the flawed election system we have in America.... When RP wins the dumbasses will be scratching their heads sayin' "but he was so low in da polls..."

These polls are rigged. That is such a crooked way to poll. And to think they call it "scientific."

We have to digg this!

It's known as pseudoscience.

If so, what an enterprising way to ensure that the top tier candidates get more "scientific" votes.

how can it be scientific if the choices are not in alphabetical order?
