the anzalone thing is a big deal b/c the polls have a knack of coming out right when a dem needs some momentum, like Griffith and Bright. Since the DCCC funds these polls, it would be interesting to know all of the ? and not just the “who would you vote for” ? because it is virtually impossible to gauge whether these are “push type” polls or as non-partial as possible.
if they are indeed impartial, then i’d be happy to buy into their validity. until then I am a skeptic.
if you are in the know and can offer an impartial piece of wisdom, write in.
While I am sure that John Anzalone has great influence, the power behind the throne is the genius of Zac McCrary.
I am normally a conservative Republican, but I wish that we had a great mind like Zac McCrary on our side.
#2 – why would a guy be rated so high if he is running rigged polls? Anzalone is a universally respected pollster because his numbers are “The Straight Dope.”
I think the significant issue here is Anzalone’s accuracy. You don’t have to agree with him to respect his work. He is good at what he does, and is becoming better known nationally because of that.
I wish my friend Hinton Mitchem godspeed and good luck after his retirement from public service. Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election. I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...]

Anonymous in comment #2, I know of no comments that were once here and are now gone. Could you elaborate?
Are you thinking perhaps of the comment that you left under this post earlier today along with the reply that someone left afterward?
Thank you.

John Anzalone’s success is a credit to his abilities, and to our state.
