[Time for change]

I didn't say that there was bias in the 2006 election polls. I just said that I can't prove that it's not there.

I'm an epidemiologist, and in every research study that we do we need to consider the possible role of bias and compare that with the likelihood of other explanations. It's very difficult to prove that it's not there, so what you're left with is considering all of the evidence taken together.

Part of my reason for believing that election fraud is a more likely explanation than bias is that I have no confidence whatsoever in the integrity of the Republican Party, and I consider most of the leaders of the Republican Party to have no morals whatsoever, and I believe that they would do anything to stay in power. I'm sure that most DUers who believe as we do feel the same way about that. We have motive, means and opportunity, nobody can argue about that. That puts us more than half way there to showing the likelihood of election fraud, I believe. That's what makes any additional evidence all the more persuasive in my view.
