First, the context:
[North Carolina] Senate Republican Leader Phil Berger delivered a big ol' mess of opinion surveys to the governor's office Tuesday.
The answers included on the "Conservative Voter Survey" sent to prospective Republican voters are likely the least surprising thing in state politics. ...
"Do you oppose Bev Perdue and the Democrats' plan to pass a job-killing $1.6 billion dollar [sic] tax increase in the middle of a recession?"
That's a hard question to say "no" to.
Now, the quote:
"I would not represent this as a scientific sampling," Berger said. "I think it is representative of the results we're seeing in scientific sampling."
Translation: Would someone explain to me the notion of scientific sampling? Like, before I conduct my next conservative vote survey of prospective Republican voters?
