What this election verified was that USian (and Canadian for that matter) pundits have no value in the political process other than revenue generation for their Media Masters.
Paying attention to their prognostications is akin to listening to the Goodship Watercarrier and his ilk . . . .
Best quote goes to Don Rasmussen: "In the short run it will just be fun to watch Nate Silver trying to explain how he could have gotten it so very, very wrong" - November 5, 2012

What the heck happened in Alberta during their last election?
How did the pollsters get it so wrong?
Uhhhmmmm! The pundits are now 'paid' to have 'proper' biases regardless of reading poles?

There were plenty of US polls that were wrong...The genius of Nate Silver, who went 50 for 50, was that he figured out which ones mattered...Interestingly, late in the campaign there were attempts to smear him, mostly with ad hominems...TBogg (on the sidebar) was all over this.

Alberta`s last provincial election..
Polls were designed to create the illusion of popularity.
Gwen Ohmahoney in Chilliwack comes to mind.
The same attempt was made there by those with other motives..

Being on the winning side...
Right is right, wrong is wrong, the issues are black and white.
That`s why Ross...
The Straight Goods is batting 100%

Thanksgiving Doctrine
It is to my fellow Americans I speak. By birth the blessings of this country are bestowed upon us. Our Parents having died to ensure both those, and our God given rights. Let us not give lightly the thought of our future. We are endowed with a divine hope for the future. It is but tyranny alone that seeks to squander that hope and that future. We as Americans have never given in to tyranny, nor shall we start now. The abilities of the government come from the people which are governed. None shall give consent of persecution and discrimination, yet we find ourselves there with our current government. Dictating what had previously been enjoyed as choices, to the detriment of its citizenry. When lone oligarchs push through agendas denounced by its people, it seems fit for those now under the yoke of tyranny to rise up out of their binds and grab firm the right given us to replace or form new, a government that will not trample the path to despotism. Stand fast all my brethren who long to once more be free without the cursing of a bureacracy designed to shackle nor a judiciary with its wanton seizure of power. It is by the grace of our God and the muster of our own will, that a resolution of freedom will once again blanket this land for those who champion self determination over distant bodies of power whose only interest is maintaining their own influence. We must however, remain strong against the bitter winds ahead. They will try to turn us one against another, and they will march us to the fringes to silence us. Let us come together once again as Americans with a strong and united voice declaring liberty and self determination as our only vehicle of redress. It is not war we seek, nor hatred we want or have. Merely the opportunity afforded our ancestors to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness without undue burden from those with the consent to govern. Let us look back on this as a time, when those of two differing philosophies of how government should fullfil its duty, were able to allow the other its chance for itself to seek its destiny. Those seeking liberty finding themselves with the providence to enjoy it.
