The highest Michele Bachmann avg. was 13%. At that time Romney was at 23%. Bachmann has never led.
She was leading in Iowa right after Mike Huckabee, wasn’t it? LOL
Lotta drunk grumpy journalistas tonight, LOL...they thought they’d be celebrating his destruction, but he’s beating them. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!!!...
I’m waiting for them to pull out the homosexual or criminal card.
Michele won the Iowa straw poll on 8/13 and was at 10/2% avg on that day. She was on her way down at that point and has dropped more since. She is currently at 3.7%.
lol!
“once considered”
“pundits noted.”
“politicos agreed.”
“experts said.”
“But pundits pointed out”
“said Robert Jackson”
“added Abramowitz.”
And although “some political observers believe”, it seems that not even “some” had something to “say”.
The Howard University Chamber Choir's rendition of "Deep River" is an amazing piece of work.
Sometimes I listen to Christian music while reading these posts. The reasons should be obvious...
I’m having a hard time tracing this business about saving a pretzel for the gas jets to what Perry supposedly intended to say. Maybe the drawl centers of my brain just aren’t working right in reverse. What was it Perry tried to say?
Interesting. Would like to see who they polled.
Well looks quite possible Cain will cross over to campground all right... not campground in like what the #Occupiers occupy, but in the heart of Washington DC.
That is my prayer.
There are a lot of Cain supporters who don't do polls.
1. Get rid of Obama
2. Avoid RINOS (Romney, Gingrich, Huntsman)
3. Avoid lunatics (sorry Paul)
4. Select a tru-con (Cain, Bachmann, Santorum, Perry)
5. Avoid media selecting candidates (like they are attempting to remove Cain, Bachmann, and Perry)
Fight for fairness. The contrived bimbo eruption attacking Herman Cain, the marginalizing of Rick, Rick and Bachmann.
Let the voters decide. My preference today: (1) Cain, (2) Bachmann, (3) Rick Santorum, and (4) Rick Perry.
This could all change with a brokered convention and drafting of Gov. Sarah Palin.
Cain’s bimbo ‘scandal’ seems to have dissipated. The damage it seems to have done is pull Cain down from having a clear lead to being roughly tied for the lead, at least in national polls.
The people organizing these attacks probably figure that Cain will continue to drop...but they have no clue how committed his supporters are. They will be very surprised as Cain goes back to the lead, simply by being Cain and drawing people back to him. It will be fun to watch.
LOL, in reality, it’s about nothing more than just some bad lip reading.
Fine, but what the dickens was he saying
It would be good to find out one day. Otherwise, I have absolutely no idea.
Meaning, they don’t tend to answer polls, I take it.
Response bias is a very difficult thing to overcome. Hypothetical mind readers would be able to pin down a population the size of America’s to within about one percent, with surprisingly few samples (only a thousand or so) if I remember my political science correctly. Gallup used to conduct polls that took extreme pains to exclude bias. The results were accurate, but chasing down all the samples took weeks. This isn’t helpful for getting a picture of opinion that changes with each news cycle.
