"In for a dime. In for a dollar."

There wasn't anything that Rasmussen wasn't going to do to maintain Republican morale. It's akin to what Zogby did in 2004 but in the other direction when he was still polling on election day in 04.

Zog is still around as is the House Of Rasmussen but they have damaged their credibility and the results their polls produce are met with the most jaundiced of eyes, even from those that want them to be true.
