Fortunately for you, that was only Game Three. I have confidence that your team will, in the end, find a way to lose.

Research 2000 has simply missed the boat in most of the recent elections, special and primary, that it has polled, dating back to the Scott Brown upset in Massachusetts. At some point they will need to readjust their voter sample to get in line with the other polling outfits.

I’m in China right now so I can’t catch up with American politics very well. But China does broadcast NBA finals. As a Lakers fan, it’s a good day for me too! (Too bad now you can’t fail me for that)

There’s no reason enough will turn out to be the difference in the vote is there? Please note I’m not implying that they ever turn out in earth shattering #s.
