Talk:2006 Texas gubernatorial election

message: I updated the table with the most recent election results with 99% of precints reporting.  But, on that table, what would go under %change (+/-)?  Its not like there will be any sampling error with the final election results because its not a percentage of a sample (the entire population), but its just the percentage of the votes cast.  There should be no possible error in the results because what votes were counted are what is counted.  How can I remove this column from the table? will381796 15:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Okay, it's well and good to slap a tag on this page and say that it needs cleanup, but what exactly needs cleaning up? You didn't do a very good job of explaining yourself, and I can speak as the original author of this page that it has improved with many leaps and bounds past what I started with (a thank you is owed to many sources for that). As the tag itself explains See rationale on the talk page, or replace this tag with a more specific message. There is no rationale here from the editor who added that, and certainly no more specific message - without grasping at straws and tearing this entire article apart to see whatever nugget of it you don't like, kindly let us know. Thanks. Souperman 21:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: James Werner is on the ballot. To be fair in the article he should be included in the polling section, as is everyone else on the ballot.
Options:
1. Add all the names on the ballot to the polling section.
2. Remove all polls that don't include everyone on the ballot.
*My view is that you have to have a party do better than a poll's average margin of error (the 2002 Libertarian candidate received less than 1.5% - it is impossible to poll for that assuming similar support). I will put a blurb in the polling section saying that polls do not include him, but I do not see an argument for excluding the polling section altogether because your guy isn't in there or having a blank column because it was impossible for pollsters to come up with an accurate number.

message: The link for some recent polls WSJ/Zogby gives me a blank page - could someone provide a VALID link please?
Also, has anyone found a poll which actually includes ALL the candidates? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Anarchist42 (talk • contribs) .
* The link you provided above (presumably the one we have in the links) works fine on my computer. It is, however, a flash page and a bunch of data all at once. Make sure you have the flash plug-in installed, and if you're on dialup, it may take awhile longer than a normal page. Apparently that one did include everyone's favorite debate club with ballot access, so the very vocal tiny minority can have one less thing to complain about. Rasmussen, SurveyUSA, and Zogby are all of the polls (and DMN's single one back at the beginning of the year) I've found thus far (and I have been looking, seeing as how far they diverge from one another).

message: * Green Party should be added to the polling results also.
** The GP doesn't even have ballot access - so you can't even use the other anonymous guy's arguments to validate it. Souperman 03:11, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I say below, the only reason I did not join the discussion was because I had real life things come up and drag me away from the computer.  In fact, the first comment below was 99% written right after my first revert.  The second comment was written after the second revert. - TexasAndroid 19:52, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Considering that there are five candidates, two of which are Independents, I find it somewhat interesting that all but one of the polls include all candidates except the Libertarian.  I suggest that this polling bias warrants the change I just made. Anarchist42 23:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
