Irrational casting of doubt on well-established statistical methods does more harm than good. In particular, it's very common for people to bash the idea of "random sampling" (as the article does) when in fact &lt;I&gt;only&lt;/I&gt; random sampling provides accurate results. Grrrr!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Remember prop 8 passed by a very narrow margin. Of course you can therefore pick nearly any religious, ethnic, or cultural group and say, "if group &lt;I&gt;X&lt;/I&gt; have voted differently, Prop 8 would not have passed." So imo, that's a red herring.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The thing that's shaking people up here is the &lt;I&gt;surprise&lt;/I&gt; at the voting patterns (regardless of if they really were pivotal in the contest). Oppressed people assume (incorrectly) that other oppressed people will be eager to join their movement for equality. Regrettably, this assumption has repeatedly been shown to be faulty.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/3019162340361815811/comments/default/979127290622450289'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/3019162340361815811/comments/default/979127290622450289'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://misterbobs.blogspot.com/2008/11/candorville.html?showComment=1227132600000#c979127290622450289' title=''/><author><name>Keith</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03277065370943092396</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://misterbobs.blogspot.com/2008/11/candorville.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879637816464433596.post-3019162340361815811' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/posts/default/3019162340361815811' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879637816464433596.post-7898493395805475188</id><published>2008-11-08T23:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-08T23:59:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Very Funny Mr. Keith!</title><content type='html'>Very Funny Mr. Keith!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/1107632751124944475/comments/default/7898493395805475188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/1107632751124944475/comments/default/7898493395805475188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://misterbobs.blogspot.com/2008/11/testing-post-from-iphone.html?showComment=1226217540000#c7898493395805475188' title=''/><author><name>Mister Bob</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12646742614212667787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='11971761349477415630'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://misterbobs.blogspot.com/2008/11/testing-post-from-iphone.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879637816464433596.post-1107632751124944475' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5879637816464433596/posts/default/1107632751124944475' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879637816464433596.post-8885086316170153789</id><published>2008-11-06T17:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-06T17:13:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>An iPhone!!!
