Having read his analysis I would categorize him as exceptionally smart.

It would be nice to hear from anyone who would like to rebut all or any portion of what he had to say. The worth of any idea is how well it can withstand criticism.

The product of polls can and often are the readers.

I have never read a finer, truer sentence outside of a L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poem.

Let’s just say Malstrom is either a visionary genius or a leading candidate for craziest sumbitch on these here Internets.

He sounds more like a Marxist. This bit is like Commodity Fetishism 101:

Just because information is displayed in a chart or a graph does not make it ’scientific’ or a real ‘analysis’. But the product was to make the reader FEEL like it was and to sell more papers.

This guy must be one of Hussein Obama's disciples!

He's far from the only one questioning the validity of the polls. Pollsters are oversampling Democrats to an extent that has no real historical basis. Essentially the pollsters are betting on a seismic shift in Democratic ID this election and if they're wrong the polls will turn out to be very wrong.

While this would make me laugh maniacally, I don't believe it will be the final outcome.
