I'm a southern woman with a career exposing media bias. I say this article is designed to form opinions, not designed to report opinions.

"That is why I contacted you and DJ about the House race polls. I trust you guys's analysis than the CNN pundits."



I really haven't seen much polling evidence of the type of Democrat wave that would be necessary for the party to win 15 net House seats, much less 6 net Senate seats. That batch of House race "interactive polls" (which I assume are similar to Zogby's e-mail surveys and thus just as worthless) had absolutely ridiculous results in a couple of districts (including results that contradict those of actual scientific polls), and while in some other districts the results sounded reasonable (and, if true, worrisome), I have to assume that all 30 "interactive polls" were just as phony.

If you are going to vote based on emotion then perhaps you should lose your franchise.
Failing to vote because "all the choices sucked" is just the same as letting go of the car's steering wheel when confronted with the choice of hitting a moose or a dog. I do not want to hit anything, but I'll take the dog over the moose everyday.

I keep hearing the BSNBC line, so I dont know our chances this time around. How do you think we'll do this upcoming election?

What would President Sooner1938 have done differently?

The left-wing media has been lying and spinning so hard against President Bush for so long that some people are bound to fall for it.

Do I agree with everything the Prez has said and done? Certainly not!

Would I vote for him again? Of course!

The unappeasables and one-note Johnnies are just falling into line with what the lefties want, "punishing" the party that at least leans conservative and helping elect hard-core liberals. My new tagline is from David Limbaugh; it seems relevant here.

When our own disappoint us, we shouldn't let them off the hook just because we like the (R) after their names.

It's not that we like the (R) after their names, it's just that the D's are traitors. R's are the lesser of two evils.

Turnout is going to be 90% of it.

Republicans are far better at turning out for off year elections than Dems.

Since the out of office party traditionally picks up seats during the off year, I think a result of status quo will be a major defeat for the Dems.

The lesser of two evils is still evil. Why not work for good instead?

YEP. south-HATING, SELF-deceiving,LEFTIST, northeastern propaganda.

the DIMocRAT media is "whistling in the dark", as they KNOW the DIMs are DYING as a NATIONAL party. they will NEVER again win the POTUS, as they cannot/WILL not carry dixie. (without the majority of dixie, DIMs LOSE every time.)

by 2016 (perhaps by 2012) , i predict that the DIMs will be IRRELEVANT as the "green party" is now.

free dixie,sw

Why do you think the DBM put it in there? Answer: In order to make the one freverent Bush supporter look like a loon. It's the gimme quote they reserve for propaganda like this.

Tell me, has anyone ever seen a DBM story about a lifelong democrat now so pi$$ed that they're going to vote Republican? I never have. Yet I've heard this story about a lifelong Republican going Dem about once a month for 25 years now. In that time, Reagan won twice, Bush I once, Clinton twice, and now Bush Dubya twice. Also, the Congress has gone from Deep Dem to Republican control. If there's that many disgruntled Republicans, and no disgruntled democrats, who pray tell is VOTING in all these Republicans? Must be Diebold!!!!

Well, I don't know if this is propaganda and it really doesn't matter if it is. Mostly because it is saying something, and many do not want to hear it, which is obvious from comments.

Fact: Bush seemed to be an, "I will do things, kind of Pres. in 2000.
Fact: Bush is looking quite lame, just like all of Congress, and all of D.C.

The war in Iraq is probably just a mask for all the other lame qualities Bush is exhibiting, namely Border Security. It totally seems he could care less about our borders, and anything else one would care to add. Different view?

Really good point! It hacks me off this gives Southern women a bad name, though. It so happens I like W's ability to stand tough. I think it's one of his best qualities.

"Worse than Carter?"

Six of one and half a dozen of the other, IMO.

Naw, I take that back. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has been worse than Carter and Clinton. But the two Bushes come close.

I'm a southern woman. I would vote for President Bush again. I will vote Republican. However, that doesn't mean I am 100% pleased with the direction my party is going toward. I imagine if I were polled and gave honest answers, my response would be skewed toward my being anti-GOP.
