 What fairy tales would that be ?

This one: 

To: Spiff; Jim Robinson

What someone needs to do ( with Jim's permission) is to send Jim's letter to Brit Hume for his "From the Political Grapevine" segment.

A poll of about 200,000 FReepers shows that McCain only gets less than 10% support of Conservatives, Republicans, and Independents.

I wonder if King Brit would mention FR's anger at McCain?

You know as well as I do, that's not true. FReepers don't represent the cross-section of America.

This is the one that should worry people:

George Allen Wins CPAC Straw Poll

20% McCain
19% Giuliani
18% Rice
11% Allen, Frist, McCain
4% Owens, Romney, Santorum
5% Gingrich

1% Hagel, Huckabee, Pawlenty, Santorum
0% Barbour

No, but those here represent a cross section of the GOP base.

On Terri the base was divided. FR polls indicated as much. On the ports the base was divided. Polls on FR evidenced the same attitude. On Miers in the second poll opinion was overwhelmingly against her confirmation. That aptly represented the base. Opinion was very highly in favor of Roberts and Alito, that evidenced the sentiments of the base.

McCain's not hitting the general election without getting through the GOP base. Unless he takes the Independent road. And the GOP base despises him. It is newsworthy that an active conservative board such as this one registers such high negatives against his probable candidacy.

Please quote Beagel8U's precise statement where he said that Free Republic, or the poll he mentioned, represented a cross section of America.

"You know as well as I do, that's not true. FReepers don't represent the cross-section of America."

They DO represent very well those that will be voting in the Republican primaries.

While 200,000 may have not chosen to vote in that poll, a hell of a bunch of them did, and FR is represented quite well nationwide.

I trust FR polls far more than the MSM polls on support for Republicans in the primaries.
