"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I guess we would expect a reaction given that rural Pennsylvanians are all bitter clingers. I’m still skeptical of focus groups in general.
Nice to see that the group was 9 registered Dems and 5 registered GOP. Maybe that mirrors the state party ID (and at least the LAT gets credit for providing that info, unlike certain other media outlets).
Geez, that’s some headline. What’s the matter, “McCain manages to barely convince a couple of losers in some livingroom somewhere” too long for them?
These focus groups are only as good as the people screening the “undecided” voters. Recently, a newspaper was busted for allowing Code Pinkers in an undecided focus group!
Obama seems like the smart ass kid come home from college after learning from his professors that everything his parents believe is wrong, and rolling his eyes when his dad tries to explain how the real world works.
The Bracelet Moment is a perfect distillation of 0bama.
Fraudulent concern that is little more than political posturing.
He has a bracelet, but he doesn’t even know the name on it.
But we’re supposed to believe that he really, really cares.
The Obamabots have done a good job of planting and germinating this stupid notion that if you don’t vote Obama you are a racist.This prevents them from saying out loud that they support McCain. Obama did best in the caucuses where folks had to declare publicly their loyalities, not so hot where Citizens used the Australian Ballot. This will catch up to Obama on Nov. 4.
Rush has said when he gets a caller from Allentown, “I own Allentown.” McCain should be winning handily there.
The point the McCain camp should hammer home is that when asked what he’d do differently given the current financial crisis is that he still wants to spend more money. Where is Obama going to get the money for all of that new spending he wants? McCain needs to hammer home that Obama apparently believes in the “Magic Money Tree”, a way to suck money from the economy into government that doesn’t hurt the economy.
