75. Like Enron, polls in American politics "live" in the world of business
In the world of science, where I "live," methods are transparent and results are peer-reviewed.

Exit polling is just another American business. I will only admit them to my realm if they wish to follow the rules of science and academia. That means total transparency. Until then, I'll accord them the same amount of trust I accord to Enron, Halliburton, and a Bush oil company.

If the pollsters would rather be in the company of academicians, they know what to do. If transparency served their ends (profit), they would do it.

Transparency might put them out of business! What are they hiding and why are they hiding it?
