Mary J. Blige urges delegates to ‘get it crunk for Obama’
A day after the delegates at the Democratic National Convention reintroduced the words God and Jerusalem to the party’s platform, musical guest Mary J. Blige had one more addition: crunk.
Mary J. Blige: "Now that we've established that we're family, let's make it a family affair & get it crunk for Pres Obama for 4 more years!"

First time the word "crunk" is used in a Convention? #DNC2012 #historic
— Christina Gomez (@stayupearly) September 6, 2012
Can someone confirm? Is this the first time "crunk" has been part of a nominating convention? #DNC2012
— Phil Elliott (@Philip_Elliott) September 6, 2012
@Philip_Elliott Well there was the 1892 Democratic Convention when Grover Cleveland said "Get Crunk, Vote for the Democrats!"

The delegates proceeded to dance, but did they really get it crunk? What is crunk? Professor?
One theory of its etymology is that "crunk" is a portmanteau of "chronic" (as in marijuana) and "drunk."

Mary J. Bilge. says "Let's get it crunk for Obama." "Crunk" is slang for getting high and drunk. Way to go, #DNC2012.

Polling expert: PPP’s polling methods come in range with the industry norm
It really has-been an educational week for many people interesting in polling.
Initially arrived the illuminating disclosure that liberal polling organization Public Policy Polling often doesn’t launch the outcome of polls with unexpected outcomes.
After that arrived this interesting article by TNR’s Nate Cohn, showing that PPP’s polling methodology includes a number of dubious practices these types of as “random deletion” of participants.
Then emerged Nate Silver’s statement which he will stay counting on PPP data even though he thinks PPP’s polls are crap.
Drew Linzer, a Ph.D. political scientist who knows their material, likened arbitrary removal to “intuitive ‘shrinkage’ weighting.”
http://twitter.com/#!/DrewLinzer/status/378192018503000064We’re no specialists, nonetheless it seems like he’s saying this can be a technique always get the sample to mirror the population most importantly.
If it feels like smoke and mirrors, don’t worry, because all pollsters take action:
