To compensate for the absence of blogs every day (school does hold it's priorities), I'll be posting an important and/or interesting political developments (or rather, the links to the news stories, I'll write my own article only if I have the time) on here.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/09/presidential.polls/index.html
Things to think about when reading this article:
i - There is a difference between popular vote and the electoral college.
ii - The election can be won without winning the popular vote.
iii - Polls are actually a straw poll, which involves the random sampling of 1,200 people.
iv - These polls are merely speculation as anything else, as there are countless factors that are not handed in.
v - Where was the race 1 week ago? Where will it be in 1 week?
More updates later, but in the mean time yet another APWH assignment calls.
