Even the Post's poll numbers show Deeds is toast.

GOTV!

Poll analysis ping.

The ongoing debate in Washington over health care also splits the electorate. A narrow majority (53%) opposes the legislation being developed - while 43% favor it.

Since when is 10% a "narrow majority" on anything?

Which means the TOTUS-reader is, also.

In Marxixst "journalist" argot 10% equals a "narrow majority" when it opposes statism. On the other hand that same 10% would be read as "a clear and convincing mandate" if it supported statism...

Well the maccaca wapo has reported on obama’s wanderings. And they’ve deigned to write analysis and state an opinion. Too bad they failed to mention what portion of the state is voting against Deeds to teach the wapo a lesson in carpetbagging reporting. Screw you wapo.

Man, all the weasel words in this article bending over backwards to give support to Zer0 would put a double-jointed gymnast to shame.

Macaca...

I said to my wife the other night...”If not for Macaca, George Allen might be President right now.”

The same paper said that the 7% win in the Presidential Election was a landslide and mandate. It all has to with the new math, 7% is far greater than 10% or so the Washington Post Says.

Great analogy!

Obammie’s stop my shave a couple more points off Deed’s vote. The state is rife with anti-Obalmy sentiment.

[cauzneffct]

Its a narrow majority because its 53%, which is only 3% above the bare majority, which is narrow. The key word is majority. For example, if it was 49% against, 39% for, that’s not a majority, even though its 10% more opposed to for.

[luvbach1]

Of course 10@ is a landslide.

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Look for something like 15% come election day. Deeds is dead in the water and listing. He only looses voters from here on out. Bammy is a fool to campaign for him. But then bammy is a fool.

Deeds is dead in the water and listing.

Love that metaphor. I say that on election day he'll upend, sink, and break in half like the Titanic.

[PDMiller]

Point taken. (Majority vs. plurality)

[luvbach1]

Macaca was a bunch of caca.

[saturn1964]

Right on. that and the washington post, or was it the times...cant remember.

[1raider1]

If they hadn’t used macaca, they would have found something else. Even if they had to say that something sounded like a slur. They were looking for trouble and when you do that you always find it.
