   Sorry, but the fact is the CBS intentionally weighted the poll with a   
   disproportionate number of Democrat responses and therefor wasn't at all   
   random.   
      
   Consultants to the DNC have pointed out to them repeatedly in the past   
   two years that many major polling outfits continue to weight their polls   
   with a percentage of Democrats that hasn't reflected anything close what   
   people self identified as in at least 15 years.   
      
   It's one of the many reasons that Democrats keeping missing the mark in   
   elections.  The pollsters tell them they're connecting with the majority   
   when if fact they're not.
