And, that's your morning take from "The Enlightened Prisoner"

I really can't abide the huge number of people and organizations that poison the air-waves trying to one-up everyone with their prognostications.

Survey results are always questionable because of the ways it's questions are framed and, the particular local where it's conducted. Mr. Silver's methods are more unique and, have a proven track record.

But still, I'd rather hear more of what's being said by the candidates and the person on the street than by boring commentators. 

I rather suspect they invent a lot more than they admit when it comes to reflecting the electorates opinions. 

But, the other half of that problem is the number of people out there who want to be told what they agree with and is nice to hear instead of what they need to hear.
