Seriously, though, he hasn't shied away from posting polls with disastrous results for his candidates.

Whyfor?  Other than using kind of an eh-OK pollster, they've been pretty transparent about the whole thing--enough so that there isn't much question in my mind that they aren't mucking with internals.

DKos polls aren't biased, even Sam Spade has admitted this.

I'm super excited about this. Research 2000 isn't the best pollster, but they're probably above average, and the more (not-crap) polls, the merrier.

They said ME, NC and MS will come out this week only, but alot more next week. I'm guessing they really wanted to poll the Senate races in these three state, because we all know how these three state will vote for president.

For Obama optimists, NC is on the knife-edge of either continuing investment or pulling out.

Sweet - I like polls.  And R2000, even when they do stuff for DK hasn't been BAD.

I wonder where DailyKos gets the money for all this. Polls are a few thousand dollars each, right? Can advertising revenue pay for all these polls? Is DailyKos making money some other way that I'm not aware of?

Advertising revenue from that site will be huge, no? They have over 8,000 people accessing the site at a single time
