How Many Port-A-Johns Do You Have to Visit Before It Is A Scientific Poll?
Anderson Cooper, Statistician:
"I was at Camp Victory, which is a large military base here outside of Baghdad. I went into the port-a-john. There was an informal poll scrawled on the wall there, Bush-Kerry. They were running about even in this one port-o-potty. That's obviously not a very scientific poll, but gives you a sense that there is a wide variety of opinion, certainly."
Of course. Do we really think this was a poll about the presidency? Do we really want to know what counted as a "vote"?
