Im so sick of the spin that the headline writers put out that I simply rewrote parts of the articles, linked them, and made my own headline. Properly placed in General/Chat.

Its about as silly as:

Real Clear Politics cheating in order to keep ROMNEY in the lead of their poll averages.

"When they added Battleground today, they eliminated Rasmussen from their averages, even though it clearly was taken within the last 14 days (their standard). If they had kept Rasmussen, Cain would have led their averages again (Cain +0.2).

RCP has violated their standards before, in the other direction, keeping Romney-favored polls up to 3 weeks at times in order to keep their blessed boy in the lead."

Politico changing its own headline that had mentioned Cain leading in their new national poll.

Real Clear Politics listing Romney at the top of its polling results even when he gets less support than Cain.

In before the open borders crowd insists this really means Perry is in the lead.

Can we move this to breaking with the other polls?

Spin?? The media and the talking heads like Ingraham and Hannity have torqued up to jet engine thrust in putting down Cain and promoting Newt or mitt the twit. The MSM is becoming minor chatter compared to the roar that the GOP elite are putting out.

Weighted RCP for the last 14 days:

Cain 23.56%
Romney 22.02%
Gingrich 16.27%
Perry 8.95%

I used the sample sizes to weight the polls. However, a poll of adults counted 1/2 as much as registered voters and likely voters counted as twice as much as registered voters. I’ve used this method before to good effect.

Good points!

I have always believed people get the government they deserve. Our government has been run by “seasoned” & “experienced” politicians for ever since I can remember, and I am on Medicare.

If people choose Romney or Newt, we will get another McBush.
Nothing will change much. Just like the Socialist in White House now who promised change, except he failed to state it would be change for the worse.

History is showing us all over the world what happens to countries who have extensive debts. Just look at the PIIGS countries. We need a real change, not debate slickness.

There are only 2 candidates who are likely to make real change. Cain & Perry. Ron Paul should be included except he is not a real candidate because he is unelectable in November 2012 for president.
