It should also be noted that the special elections in the two California congressional districts this year have provided results far more favorable to Republicans (and less favorable to Democrats) than the 2010 Results:

District          Party                     % 2008 Vote          % 2009 Vote

32               Democrat                     99.99                      61.82
                   Republican                     0.00                      32.96

     You mean to say that the Democrats aren't surging in Idaho as they look to improve on their 0% showing in the 2004 Senate race? Wink

I still can't figure out whether he knows what he's doing or whether he's as stupid as he appears.

No, but I've seen it reposted several times. I think Ebowed has it on file.

Oh yeah, didn't notice that. Well, don't worry about it, obviously not essential Smiley

After it took like 15 pages to explain to him that you can get the full sample of a poll by adding Women and Men together, I'm willing to believe virtually anything.

This is not intellectual dishonesty : just stupidity.

Yes, Xahar, I actually have. In third grade (1998, aka 11 eleven years ago, I wrote a theory on how the KGB was responsible for the sinking of the Titantic) . I know "in third grade" is actually a dependent clause (believe me, I got a 32 on the ACT so I know my sh**t)  but I chose to masquerade it as a sentence. Anyway, Xahar, do as you will.

WTFuck?
The Soviet Union, much less the KGB, didn't even exist whenever the Titanic sunk!
I thought I was crazy in the third grade.

Actually, it's accurate (sort of).  It just leaves out one vital piece of information - The Republicans did not field a candidate that year in that district.  So the results were:

Solis(D)                    130,152    99.994%
Nobody(R)               0                0%
Osunwa -write in(I)  8               0.006%

Link

So, yes, it is intellectually dishonest in being a lie of omission.

The special election figure he gave is a hair off (a fraction of a percent), but was significantly different in that there was more than one candidate on the ballot.
