Vanity Polling - Granite Grok

Vanity Polling

The recent bit of ‘internal polling’ conjured up by the Mahoney campaign might better be described as vanity polling.  It’s like asking Burger King customers whether they prefer the Whopper of the Big Mac.  You’re guaranteed to get good numbers.

Of course the last time I checked with the FEC Mahoney only had 134 donors accounting for 16% of his funding so he either had to buy some new ones or call the same ones back repeatedly.  Makes you wonder why he didn’t manage to get 100% of the votes in the poll?

Oh that’s right.  That would look suspicious.
