I am sorry you can’t face reality. To believe this race is tied is a fantasy. You are right I have been complaining since the summer on how Romney has run his campaign. I also have never been a Romney supporter because I do not believe he is or ever has been a conservative. The party stuffed him down our throats. So do me a favor and instead of looking for
Purity let’s really have an open discussion about the candidate and where we are in the race.

I believe in numbers too. I know how to read polls. I am watching everyone jumping from the good ship Romney. Let’s see Noonan, Mkinnon, Frum, Martinez, Brown, McMahon, just to name a few. If the race was tied and. my posts were incorrect fine maybe I am just a hand wringer. @jidts07: Pew poll: Paul Ryan “lags behind ratings of Sarah Palin at this point in 2008” http://t.co/Lzol1o3kThis does not look like a winning campaign with a winning message to me.

You do not like the opinion? Fine! Save the childish name calling for the school yard. I never have been fond of bullies.

Except for world events that are like the ME today... I quit watching them years ago and I agree with you completely.

MSNBC Tops Fox News On Back-To Back Nights In Primetime Demo

TV Newser ^ | 9/19/2012 | Alex Weprin

Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2012 4:38:55 PM by My

Favorite Headache

Last night, for the second night in a row, MSNBC beat Fox News in primetime (8-11pm) in the key adults 25-54 demo. On Monday MSNBC averaged 471,000 demo viewers to Fox News Channel’s 469,000. On Tuesday, MSNBC drew 575,000 demo viewers, to FNC’s 526,000. We will have the full ratings numbers in The Scoreboard a little later on.
The number one show in the demo on cable news is always, always “The O’Reilly Factor” unless there is some sort of unusual news event or huge booking.

Last night, there was no big news event, but the number one show in the demo was MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.” This is despite the fact that O’Reilly had a big (and younger-skewing) guest in Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart. Maddow at 9pm drew 703,000 demo viewers to O’Reilly’s 682,000 at 8pm.
Last night in head to head match ups, MSNBC’s “The Ed Show” was fewer than 200,000 viewers behind the “Factor” in the demo, while Maddow and “The Last Word” had clean wins over “Hannity” and “On the Record,” respectively. In total viewers, O’Reilly doubled “Ed” in the ratings, while “Hannity” led Maddow by 206,000 viewers. At 10 PM, “On the Record” topped “The Last Word” by 100,000 total viewers.

FNC remains the top cable news channel in total viewers, but advertisers buy against adults 25-54 (that is why we have always led with the demo in The Scoreboard), so this shift has the potential to be a seismic one if MSNBC can maintain it.

Yes, it seems we have another mental giant at FR that can read headlines but not the article. Let me help you out, sweetie....(CAPS added by me for emphasis)

MSNBC beat Fox News in primetime (8-11pm) IN THE KEY ADULTS 25-54 DEMO......FNC remains the top cable news channel IN TOTAL VIEWERS.

And before you try and cop out of your clear lack of reading comprehension with the timeless "that's what I meant" retort, here's your exact statement from your original post:

"msnbc beat fox out for their entire evening last night".

And other great confusion I can clear up for you??

You seem incapable of discussing a subject without acting like saul alinsky. We were talking about fox moving to the left and losing viewers... and at these referenced times msnbc did beat them. No one claimed that fox was not still a powerhouse but many of us have given up on watching them and their ratings are down. Now you need to work on your reading and comprehension skills... they are sorely lacking.

My God, this is like talking to liberal. Can you not read??? Please separate what you WANT to be true form what is true. MSNBC did NOT BEAT Fox at ANY time slot. They were slightly ahead in one DEMOGRAPHIC group - 25-54 year olds. As the Drudge numbers pointed out, the Fox programs still had signififcantly more TOTAL VIEWERS than MSNBC.

I'm sorry you have a problem with Fox, and your criticisms may be valid, but you still just can't make stuff up, and this can't be any clearer. Sheesh.

In other words, you realize you've been caught out for stating blatantly WRONG info, so now you're going to run away like a little girl rather than just admit you were wrong (like an adult).

Like to say I'm surprised, but.....

Hannity had Pat Caddell do a poll and his poll was much different than Fox’s.

It showed the race still tight in FL and OH.

You’r a lefty troll who is fooling no one.

True enough Myth isn’t a conservative. But when you cite UberRINOs like Peggy Noonan, and out right leftists like DAVID FREAKING FRUM (!!) we know exactly where you’re coming from. Start telling us how the Mark Levins, Michelle Malkins and Jim DeMints are bailing and we might listen....but every cretin on your list is on the far left of the GOP....if they can even be considerd part of the GOP at all. NONE are conservatives.

Gallup has it tied today among REGISTERED voters. If you know anything, you know that means Myth is not only leading, he’s leading comfortably.

But you’re not here to talk facts. You’re here to discourage conservatives and do your little bit to bolster your boy Barak. Fine.

Bu no one is fooled.

These polls were wrong in 2008 and they will be proven to be wrong in 2012.

Now I'm leaning towards plant. You know damned well that Obama polled ahead of McCain in Ohio et al, and won those states.

How were the polls that predicted an Obama victory wrong in 2008?

Frankly, this is depressing. After all the bullshit Obama's put this country through, I'm aghast that ANY American would vote for this complete, worthless piece of sh*t for President.

The country I grew up in and loved is lost if this is true.

I think has more to do with the “reality TV show” or the news has become. I don't watch the new as I am so pissed that or ambassador was killed and this “news” people report on all this drivel.

The polls in early September showed McCain beating Obama by a couple points and polls shifted and then the undecided voters shifted on top of voting irregularities in most swing states.
