Why is Olbermann pimping that flawed Gallup showing a 3% Obama lead?

My God, is he turning into Drudge or what?! I mean, if he's gonna show that poll, at least show all three Gallup polls! Don't just cherry pick that poll, which is based on 2004 voter turnout which means absolutely. That poll is worth nothing.

1. I think he was just going through the gammit of polling numbers

but I was surprised he used that # and didn't say it was a LV poll

2. Maybe he doesn't want us to become compacent.

3. He only pointed it out as where the GOP may have gotten their dysfunctional "tie"

4. Who knows?

Maybe he knows we haven't won this yet and doesn't want us to get to cocky? I dunno, that's my guess :shrug:

5. But geez, that poll is garbage.

The Gallup expanded LV is more reliable. I mean, he could've at least explained what it was instead of just reading it and flashing it on the screen. My mother, who is not computer literate, had one of those Fred Sanford moments! I had to explain that Gallup had 3 different polls. Keith should've at least mentioned something instead of flashing it on the TV.

6. Listen up now...

Keith was just showing the disparity in polls...he showed the Gallup LV2 at +3, but he also showed the Hotline at +7. He could have said, Rasmussen has it at +3, ABC at +8....etc.....point was that some polls show tightening, others do not.....
