Brzezinski realizes how much the Palin Derangement Syndrome being exhibited by the media is energizing the GOP base, and she is telling the Palin-bashers: "You're not helping!"
“Brzezinski realizes how much the Palin Derangement Syndrome being exhibited by the media is energizing the GOP base,”
The guy that runs 538.com may be a Lib, but even HE is beginning to see the light:
“I am reminded of something called the Shy Tory Factor, a phenomenon observed in the early 1990s in British elections in which conservative voters (Tories) had tended to be underrepresented in pre-election polling, perhaps owing to response bias.
It seems plausible to me that some segment of conservative Republican voters had effectively been in hiding from the pollsters, either embarrassed by the performance of George W. Bush (and therefore disengaged from politics), or embarrassed to disclose to pollsters that they support him.
Suddenly, with the selection of Palin, there has been a jolt of energy within this group, a release of pent-up frustrations, and they are coming out of the woodwork. If this is the case, then perhaps the partisan composition of the electorate had never shifted as much from 2004 as it has appeared to;
rather, the conservatives were either reluctant to identify themselves as Republican, or reluctant to take a pollster’s calls in the first place.”
Now, we aren’t just energized, we are pi**ed off about how the obviously Messiah-biased media has been treating her!
Exactly. She's joined the chorus of Cokie Roberts, Geraldine Ferraro and Susan Estrich warning to beware of unsafe waters but they're not listening much to my delight.
” she is telling the Palin-bashers: “You’re not helping!” “
Also, you are letting the cat out of the bag, and exposing us for what we really are.................
Yep. They’ve been told to keep their togas wrapped.
