I simply gave my media critique of WRGW. You are entitled to disagree, as I assumed you would. If I were interested in blaming someone, I'd blame the law school and their unprecedented endorsement process this year. <br /><br />Again, the things I take issue with aren't necessarily what was said, but how it was said. The "very very strong performance," the "overwhelming" underdog... It's just unnecessary. I'd be crazy to claim that I didn't think we had an uphill battle to fight. But she had a great deal of support from SA outsiders. <br /><br />Your problem is that you keep quoting and refering to SA insiders as your sources. SA insiders don't define the views of the majority of people on this campus. <br /><br />Also, you miss a lot of the points that I make in regards to his analysis of the straw polls. The polling inferences I made came from PSC 120: Public Opinion. My point was that the SIZE of the sample is not what matters. A poll can have 100,000 respondents and be innacurate because it doesn't accurately represent the population. <br /><br />Your exit polls didn't confirm that Jason had a better performance in the WRGW debate (although I agree that he did). It simply confirmed what everyone could already see; that more than half of the people in the room were member's of Jason's fraternity and would vote accordingly. <br /><br />Lastly, I'm not sure if you're aware that I resigned from the Hatchet a few months ago in order to write a Letter to the Editor. In the letter, I expressed my dosagreement with one of their opinion's columnists. If I was so closely tied to the Hatchet as you claim, may be we would have gotten the endorsement of the Hatchet. That would've been nice...Eric_Thibaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819198518876116700noreply@blogger.com
