Fun with graphics

We got a chuckle here today while browing Michele Bachmann's campaign Web site.

This is a reference to a Tinklenberg poll in head-to-head matchups.

Holy cow! Have you ever seen a difference not even outside the margin of error look so insurmountable?

Since we were on methodology awhile ago, the methodology of ConnectUSA, the firm that did this particular poll, is particularly suspect. As near as I can figure, the poll isn't even scientific. It's random. But you get what you pay for, which is why I never trust candidate-purchased polling.
