Polls

When I see a poll, such as Obama vs. McCain or Hillary vs. Rudy I always wonder who the poll is comprised of.

Who answers their home phone these days? Who doesn't have a cellular phone? Who doesn't have call screening?

I wonder if we are polling the jobless or bedridden. If so, they would not be a great indicator of American trends unless the poll was about beds or unemployment benefits.

Then they would be a wonderful sample set.

I fear I've flogged this joke about three sentences too far. Yep, I have.
