I was willing at first to concede that this Texas Opinion Research Poll (TOPR) was an outlier. But if this FOX News poll is believed to be credible, the TOPR poll really probably isn't a crazy outlier.

That still does not answer my point.
I questioned the cross-tabs, not just the final number. A poll landing close to another poll does not prove the numbers underneath it make sense.
Throwing a dart and getting near the bullseye does not mean the throw was accurate. You are defending the result while ignoring how they got there.
So compared to a 3% lead in a FOX poll, a 5% lead is a massive outlier and totally implausible.
Ahh, @FastLane is back. Lets discuss Iraq in the other thread? Or are you embarrassed?There is the problem right there

It's not my state, but I don't see Texans or naturalized Mexicans voting for poofter boy. That's pretty much who's there, right?
So is that a prediction? There are a lot of different people in Texas?
They've got a habit of picking sleazebags if that's what you mean.
The guy is as big a crook as The PP, but Texans seem to like that.

Paxton sucks, but he's better than Fagarico.
Is what it is.
We'll figure this thing out after the midterms.
IF you say so... What do you dislike Talarico?Paxton sucks, but he's better than Fagarico.
Is what it is.
