The Sound of the Crowd

Things that make you go “hmm.”

As MSNBC’s bloggers go I don’t usually care much for Joe Trippi. It’s not a substantial thing, I probably agree with him as much as any, I just don’t like his style.

But today, he’s got an interesting theory that could explain why, with a galvanized Democratic party and a more than usually interested youth vote, Kerry isn’t doing better in the polls.

Two words: Cell phones. Most people in their late-teens to 20’s these days carry cell phones. And, Trippi says, pollsters haven’t yet figured out a way to include this in their polling.

I don’t know if this is true, but it is a comforting thought.
