If you cherry pick and only see what you want to then of course it is going to seem that way. This isn't SERIOUS BUSINESS board either, it is an OT board on from a miniature games website. We get a little silly sometimes. We aren't defending a dissertation. It just isn't that serious, and I think you know that but just have decided in your mind that you don't like me and so are going to see everything in a negative way. Your loss if you think you can judge and know someone based on a few selected posts online that you choose to take a certain way.

I'm not judging you. Despite the fact that I think you're a lawyer, I'm sure you're a perfectly amiable dude. I'm not always fond of the phrase you use as a request for clarification, and that's what I meant to point out. Admittedly the 'embarrassed' remark was unnecessary, so I apologize for that.

Polls can be wildly wrong for a great number of reasons and just becuase they look one way doesn't mean reality is something different all together. 2,494 people asked every day who they are voting for could still be a total toss when 80 million people actually go out and vote.

How many people polled aren't registered or eligible to vote is also a big issue.

I'm guessing you won't find many people who weren't alive during WWII who know that one, in the US anyhow.
