Poll Madness: McCain Takes Lead Even As Democrats Out-Register Republicans?

[Meshuga]

"This week's mainstream coverage of the presidential horse-race has been dominated by a series of polls showing the McCain-Palin ticket with its first stable lead over Obama and Biden. Gallup's tracking poll, USA Today and CBS News all show the Republicans with some kind of lead over the Democratic ticket. But, interestingly, all three polls were also conducted using a higher sampling of Republican voters than in July, thus raising a question of methodology.

In a year in which Democrats have a lead of 11 million registered-voters over Republicans, and have been adding to that advantage through a robust field operation, are pollsters over-sampling Republicans?"

3. Our party needs a leadership shakedown.

We need to be run like an army, not a PTA. No dissent should be tolerated, nor any betrayal (Lieberman.)

But these polls generally don't even COUNT newly registered voters, right?
