How can USA Today polling editor Jim Norman not know if their latest sample includes too many Republicans? Or over or under-represents a party???

My gut is still that the latest surge is just Flash in the Pa(li)n; the next few months are going to yield ugly dirt on her and wear heavily on McCain.

I am however definitely going to find a way to use "dead cat bounce" in my next survey report for work.
