For the past months now, most of you are probably following the U.S electorial debates, developments and lies being told one way and the other....

Speaking of which, I was wondering what were your thoughts on all these annoying and often confusing statistics being brought forth by all the media in north America...? On one day, yesterday, I was being told by USA Today that Kerry had the lead, now it seems both idiots are equally on the same number of votes...

What's real, what's fake, who's telling the truth, who's pants are on fire ??????


It's really hard trying to make a sense of these damn things going on...

One thing has to be certain, Bush can't get in power again, or else.......................

The thing about statistics is, they can be presented in a manner to justify almost any point. Generally I don't pay much attention to statistics because unless you get to look at the raw data its probably biased in some way.

As far as polls are concerned the Gallup polls are pretty reliable and there are a few more. But CNN newpolls and stuff like that are pure garbage. Primarily due to their sample set and method of polling.
