That talk radio partisan hack, Hugh Hewitt (who flogged for Romney to death in the 2008 primary season to the bitter end having written a book about him which he hoped would sell a bunch if Romney become the nominee) was bitching about this poll today on his show because it had Norton losing (his favorite candidate), complaining that it had 59% of the GOP primary voters being male, and thus it was phony, and cooked, and without the phony testosterone boost, Norton would be ahead. Well first of all it is 57% male, not 59%, second Norton is losing among women as well (albeit by a smaller percentage, 3%), and third hasn't he heard of the partisan gender gap, and that it is to be expected that GOP primary voters would tend to be more male (in the Dem primary in this poll it is 51% female)?
As I said, Hewitt is a hack, and either just doesn't know better, or if he does, it certainly does not slow him down from his irresistible impulse to spin.
