"SAVE IT FOR THE END"

A polling company has been accused of being unprofessional and perhaps even fraudulent. The last paragraph of the NYT story made me chuckle:

As for the accusation that the company’s claim to be based in Atlanta was misleading, Mr. Johnson acknowledged that the main Strategic Vision office was in Blairsville, Ga., 115 miles away, but said the difference was “semantic.”

It's only semantic if "Blairsville" is a synonym for "Atlanta" but the following information makes this bit of nonsense seem inevitable:

Strategic Vision was founded by Mr. Johnson and his wife, Laura Ward, as a Republican-leaning mom-and-pop public relations company in 2002. ... Early on, questions were raised about how such a small firm could conduct so many self-financed polls, but Mr. Johnson, a frequent commentator on Fox News, said they accounted for the company’s entire marketing budget.
