Oh good, I thought this thread had been missing XBox/PS3 style "McCain isn't really losing" arguments.

Awesome.

I agree with the others who have said that the author of the posted Op-Ed piece doesn't show why the Survey USA models are flawed, because comparing them to previous year's models doesn't count. Weighting should change over time as registration and party ID change. Correlating that with some kind of ACORN conspiracy is a reach.

Also, the Op-Ed doesn't address whether or not the dozens of other polls that show Obama in the lead are fundamentally flawed, aside from "being in the tank for Obama" because they are in blue country. He needs to attack more than just Survey USA in order to actually gain any traction with his argument.
