Are you counting Fox in that “media in the tank”..Their polling released this AM shows Obama +5.
I sure like the confidence of this piece, and the comments afterwards.....I hope it is confidence that is rightly placed.
I've been on top of that prospect for most of a year ~ ever since someone revealed Romney had some financial resources outside his traditional Boston crowd and his Bain cronies.
Of course Obamugabe has to campaign on suppressing the Republican vote ~ that's always been the case. The reason is simple HIS POPULARITY is in steep decline and has been for nearly 3 years ever since the details of Obamakkkare began surfacing.
Obamugabe was elected after a massive voter registration and get out the vote campaign that moved historic numbers of people to the polls. He got 69 million votes! The Republicans got out only 59 million ~ not even an historic high for them.
The Democrats can waste several million votes ~ 10 million of them ~ if the Republicans only do as well as they did in 2008.
But he may already have wasted those voters but he has an ace in the hole ~ an unpopular Republican to run against, but he's not so unpopular that he can't do as well as McCain ~ yet, the Democrats need a bigger margin, so the solution is to discourage Republican voters. The poll thing is symptomatic, but it is not determinative. Democrats may well think it is, but it isn't. Most folks have become leery of polls, but it was noted just yesterday by one of the network talking heads, and also by Mark Levin, that we've had more polls this year already than in all other presidential campaigns in the last century.
Polls are so numerous because they are no longer effective in persuading voters to show up or not show up, or to vote for one candidate or the other. We are finally immune to their siren call.
So, what other idea do the Democrats have? Maybe they figure they have an edge in the debates, maybe not. Keep your eyes open. Then there's the phenomenon where the GOP-e early own discouraged Conservative participation in the campaign, and presumably in the election itself ~ they know what they did ~ and it may well discourage some people from voting ~ they certainly think so now. That particular activity was made at a time when they imagined their boy Romney would only become more popular with time. That he became less popular and more disliked wasn't in the cards, but the Democrats didn't plan on that with Obamugabe either.
The pros have lost their sharpness and now both sides have only one trick left in the bag ~ to discourage voters from showing up.
I"m showing up anyway, and I"ll vote how I wish and neither the Obamabots nor the Mittbots can change my mind with their dire threats of impending doom or cities burning.
Let 'em burn if it comes to that. I don't live there.
I believe the MSM (including FNC) are trying to make this race more interesting (more viewers) than it is by intentionally quoting these bogus polls. Shame on them. Their already tarnished reputation is only going to get worse.
The good news is that since they have to try to make this race close is great news for Romney. I imagine his internal polling is much more optimistic.
Barring massive election fraud (which could happen) the Kenyan is going down. Maybe in historic numbers.
We need to flip the message...Obama won..no need for democrats to vote now!
you are losing
no, you are losing
this is stupid
Four years ago we were hearing a lot of the same “the polls are biased! The lame Republican is gonna win!” rhetoric.
Pollsters are in the business of being _correct_, and I don’t mean politically. If they say Obama is going to win, you’d best take that at face value and get busy convincing voters to pick Romney, or to stay home if they won’t.
Uninspiring candidates don’t win.
Amazing what just buying someone a phone will do.
The purpose of Liberal Agenda Media, (LAM), Polls, is to:
1.) discourage Conservatives from voting in an up coming election;
2.) discourage Conservatives from financially supporting their candidates;
and 3.) publicly promote the idea that most voters agree that Socialism will make America more successful.
Thus, LAM Polls are analogous to a dam holding back the floodwaters of REALITY from those who still bother to read, listen or watch the LAM.
Since 35 % of Americans will have the opportunity to vote early this year, the longer the LAM can keep the LAM Polls skewed, the greater their chances of fooling the early voters.
Somebody needs to figure out a way to do polls that put some sort of weighting factor for intensity of support.
I have never seen white voters angrier. This translates to huge turn-out at the polls.
The polls are designed to show that the election was stolen. It will be interesting to see how DumBO handles the riots afterwards. He will probably fan the flames, justifying an executive order overturning the election.
What we are asked to believe is all the energy and outrage of 2010 has dissipated and now there is a renewed sense of energy and excitement for all things Obama. The Tea Party phenomenon is not something that sends ripples through the media unless it wishes to assemble itself for a rally. Generally, these folks work, live their lives, keep their eyes and ears open and then GIVE THEM ALL HELL on election day.
just by the new faces I am seeing on fox ..its clear there is no help there for Romney..they have a few on then they have the used up drips from the MSM they have hired..the rejects.What is the matter with fox..they at one time had a good thing going.
We received a call on our answering machine from 904-274-0422 yesterday. They asked to press 1 for Obama, 2 for Romney, 3 for someone else or 4 for undecided. Then, they went on: Will you definitely support Obama? Press 1 for definitely support, 2 for probably support & 3 for unsure.
