104. Hey, you forgot the garlic!
You have to uncheck the TIA curse otherwise, the undead will haunt your formatting. Luckily it doesn't seem to give you ALLCAPs.

Well, I'm not defending monsters either, just trying to figure out how the monsters got back into government.

But here's a problem:

All TIA's statistics assume random sampling. I dispute that the sampling was random, but so far, at least TIA has been consistent.

But what's this?

Using plausible weights, and assuming maximum 2000 voter turnout, Kerry wins by almost 7 million votes.


"plausible weights"? WTF?

Why do we need weights if the sampling is random?

And if it isn't - well, why don't we all just knit our own to fit our own predictions?

You weight the Gore vote.
I weight the Bush vote -
- Let's call the whole thing off....
