Did they run out of coats?

What about the doctors from the other 7 states?

Strange, maybe they had to perform emergency abortions on the White House Lawn!

Maybe Proctologists and ob gyn men are always suited up to give emergency medical assistance while in uniform. Proctology may be an expanding field with Obama i the White House.

And right back to the ad hominem attacks. No defense so call names. Good work when you can get it.

If you so distrust all polls then why do you quote them to make a point?

Yeah sure Steve.. people who laugh by themselves are the first clue they are nuts. Then you open your mouth and say a poll should be weighed by partisan interests… what a laugh. You probably think the Fox.com polls are totally accurate. Go call CSPAN on the Republican phone line and complain.

Steve in Tulsa: I need to know that they weighted the poll along political lines and asked an equal number of republicans and democrats.

Actual Steve, you are if you weighted a poll based upon political beliefs you would change the outcome. IT WAS A RANDOM SAMPLE. What part of a random sample don’t you understand? The idea is it should mirror the larger group…

You are hilarious! You really don’t understand statistics or polling at all!

Actually you just showed your total lack of understanding. This is not CSPAN where the Republicans and Democrats each have separate phone lines to call in on… it is a RANDOM SAMPLE! There is no doubt that polls have biases, inaccuracies and a raft of problems. I even said I take this poll at face value, but you totally diminish it based upon lack of understanding the basics of scientific polling.

Then it is a bad poll with an improper methodology. They elected NOT to weigh the politics of the people answering political questions. I need to know that they weighted the poll along political lines and asked an equal number of republicans and democrats. Or at least weighted the poll according to hte weights in the last election. The fact that they DID NOT do this just proves they do not understand what polling is. Just because a roomful of democrats all agree doesn’t mean a thing. Of course they all agree with each other. Duh! All the doctors at YoMama’s event were campaign contributors.

You are hilarious! You really don’t understand statistics or polling at all! Of course the government run media relies on your ignorance and you certainly have drunk the kool aid.

MikeA. You obviously don’t read comments. I take the NEJM article at face value, just like any real poll. I do weigh it much greater than some unscientific poll being taken online. I bet if the NEJM poll came out against public option you would be posting it 24/7. So get a life. It is just a poll.

Steve in Tulsa: But you don’t know the methodology of the poll from New England Journal of Medicine because you cannot answer how many are democrats or how many are republican or how those two sides were weighted.

The NEJM methodology is posted online and political party affiliation was not in their poll. If you want to know the methodology all you needed to do is look at the link I provided previously. —> since you asked, here is a link directly to the appendix from the article. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/data/NEJMp0908239/DC1/1
