Could you guys (Inks, Realisticidealist) please STOP entering "Generic Republican" polls to the database ?

A) There is no "Generic Republican" in the race

B) "Generic Republican" by 5 in this case means "tossup" in reality.

C) We have agreed previously that we only enter Obama vs. Romney polls.

Thx.

I'll repost the essence of the PM I just sent.  Who is "We"?  Dave has previously had no objection  to using Generic polls, and even said he wanted to use my terminology of "Generic Republican" and "Generic Democrat".  So is this a standard that you just came up with, or have you seen something from Dave saying he changed his opinion, because the last time this issue came up between Dave and myself, he was in favor of putting these polls in the database.
