But then the democrats would let it out that Dick Lugar was reprimanded by a hall monitor in 3rd grade, thus linking him to juvenile delinquency and drive by shootings. That would dominate the MSM through the election.
Watched her debate. Obviously, being intelligent and having your own opinion rather than your parties talking points is not a prereq to run for office. More intelligent beings have been found in a glass of water!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Well, the poll you are referring to was taken around Labor Day in September and Dewey was so far ahead, no one thought another poll was necessary. It was necessary.
You might consider putting a few bucks on Corker while MD shows him behind in the polls. Harold will not be going to the senate this year.
The web link to the cdt says likely voters. The morning paper itself, the hard copy, says registered voters.
I always wondered how pollster determine who is a "likely Voter" when only about 36% ( +-2%) in a mid-term elections turn out to vote.
So if polling and turn out are porportional, then for every 100 phone calls that are answered, only 36 callers will vote, and that's IF only potential voters are the only ones that answers the poll's phone call.
Mid-term election U.S. turn out statistics: 1994, 36%; 1998, 35%; 2002, 36%
Which means that to get 625 "likely voters," they'd have had to have called, what, 1800 people? Right.
Mid-term polls can be a crap shoot.
NJ is a complete suck fest when in comes to Democrats. Its like a mini CA.
State of PA from RCP:
Senate
2000: Santorum 52, Klink 46
1994: Santorum 49, Wofford 47
President
2004: Kerry 51, Bush 48
2000: Gore 51, Bush 46
1996: Clinton 49, Dole 40
NJ Senate - Menendez. Basically a tie, IIRC.
Rockefeller?
SOMEthing has to be done about it. It is a big issue. I'm against using babies for spare parts, but I'm also against letting Dems win. This has to be dealt with. The Repubs can't let the Dems & the media frame the issue. You're right.
I remember when Zogby was respected by conservatives. It was in 2000, IIRC.
You equate "sanctity of human life" with a "religious angle."
An act considered "sinful" in religious terms may also violate the standards of civilized society. Perjury is sin. Murder is sin. Violence in many forms is sin. The "sin" label exempts none of those actions from legal consequences.
The argument made by those who oppose destruction of embryos is not necessarily one of religion, but rather a moral determination that life is life and that destruction of human life at any stage is wrong.
Many Americans regard sanctity of human life as protected from the very beginning of our nation's legal heritage. Please do not denigrate those deeply held beliefs by writing them off as "the religious angle."
It's been 13 points for weeks. Santorum has been polling very badly for a long time. I don't get it.
Those numbers in NJ will be changing real so
