Talk:2006 United States Senate election in Florida

Disparity between Zogby/WSJ and other polls (Jun/Jul 06)

There seems to be a consistent, significant (9-10%) disparity between the Zogby/WSJ polls and the others. Does anyone know why the figures, assuming the polls are honest, could be so different? --Flawiki 00:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

The fact is that these polls are all being done in different time periods and as the election comes closer (and the trappings thereof, i.e. campaign TV commercials and news reports) we can expect a definite shift in opinions almost daily. For instance, the last three polls were on June 21, 2006 (Zogby/WSJ), June 28, 2006 (Strategic Vision), and June 30, 2006 (Quinnipiac). If we had those three companies do concurrent polls to be released on July 25, 2006, we should expect more continuity of results. We should also remember that Zogby is a very respected poll company with an excellent track record, and the reason the WSJ is not showing us the questions is because they paid a lot of money to buy these poll results from Zogby. A normal person like me or you would have to spend at least $200 to get these surveys. So, Zogby is either pretty accurate and trusted, or they're lying to a whole lot of people who are apparently too stupid to look at the actual results of the elections for which they bought poll results. --Pygmalion58

Brian Moore and Green Party

I reverted an edit in which Brian Moore's party affiliation in the election was changed from Independent to Green Party.

According to the Miami Dade Green Party website, "The Green Party of Florida (GPF) has endorsed the independent candidacy of Brian Moore in his bid for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Democrat Bill Nelson." The U.S. Clerk of the House website with the results of the election lists Moore as "No Party Affiliation".

The GPF's endorsement of Moore may have caused the misimpression that he ran as a Green.

McBride confusion

The article states (correctly) that Will McBride is not related to Bill McBride, but then Will McBride's name is linked to the article for Bill McBride. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:AEB7:64C0:D9D1:7854:2C92:D136 (talk) 02:06, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
