I've made a case, over and over. It's not like I even care - you take everything partisan with a grain of salt. Either way. But to a partisan, there is no such thing as either way. It's my way or you're biased.

Cell phones? How do you get a representative sample from cell phones? Don't know, don't care, don't want to know. But I do know that if Rasmussen doesn't use cell phones, the liberal side will blast him for that. And if he does use cell phones, then the liberal side will say no one responsible would use them.

I get tired of being called a Republican when I've never voted for one for president. And I don't want to waste any more time explaining why I think Rasmussen's data is valuable even if it has to be massaged (just like PPP's the other way).

I don't know who's right this time. My gut instinct is that Silver is. But I don't like how he's getting there.

Dude - weighting it differently is just another way of massaging it.
