In the meantime, former President Bill Clinton flew to London to spend time with his daughter Chelsea, an Oxford student, and will not come to New Orleans for Saturday's Bayou Classic football game, said U.S. Sen. John Breaux.

According to the Washington Prowler, Landrieu actually commissioned a poll to determine if the positives of x42 campaigning for her in the black community outweighed the negatives he would have on her among white voters. I think we can take an educated guess what that poll said.

45 percent favoring Landrieu, 31 percent for Terrell, 3 percent for neither, 14 percent saying they don't know and 8 percent refusing to say, even though they had a choice.

But when Renwick adjusted it to show blacks as 25 percent of those who actually vote -- a historically reliable percentage -- his poll showed Terrell ahead at 51 percent.

This is very ambiguous. He reports Landrieu leading 45/31 - a huge gap of 14 points. But if adjusted to assume blacks making up 25% of the electorate, he says that Terrell is ahead at 51%.

But is that 51% a prediction of what she would actually get on election day? In other words, does it make assumptions as to how the 22% of voters who failed to express a preference would vote?

If so, Terrell's edge is slight. But if it's 51% with 22% undecided, then Terrell in fact would have a huge lead.

I actually went to the original article on the WWLTV web page, and things are not really clarified. Here is what it has to say:

"Renwick says that it is important for Landrieu to get out the black vote.

“If the black vote was somewhat below the white vote percentage wise, in other words if instead of 29 percent it (the black percentage of votes) was 25 percent, then Suzie Terrell would win with between 51 and 52 percent, so turnout is very critical,” emphasized Renwick."

My best guess is that the pollster is predicting that if blacks make up 25% of the electorate, Terrell will get 51% on Election Day.

Of course, Pres. Bush has not made his scheduled visit, and that could very easily be good for another few percentage points!

Please vote in our instant FR poll.

I believe Bill Clinton's primary goal in flying to London is:

A. To spend time with his daughter Chelsea, an Oxford student.
B. To spend time with a willing bimbo he met on a previous visit to Chelsea.

We sure could use the extra cushion to keep Chafee and McCain in check.

I saw the 51% to 34% poll, that did not make me happy, then I saw the 75% Bush approval/like the guy poll, that made me happy. All thats needed here, is Bush and Cheney to make a few stops between now and election day down in Louisiana along with Trent Lott talking about needing access to the white house for at least one senator from Louisiana. Then Terrel will win easy. I don't think she's gonna lose this one, unless the RNC really just doesn't care.

HAH!

In other words, the 'rats have realized that having Slick Willie on their side hurts, not helps, them.

The Hildbeast must be steaming. Her presidential chances are going down the drain.

This race is tailor made for RAT vote fraud.

This race is winnable by the good guys.

Let's get President Bush down there and do what he did for Chambliss and others.

Blonde-haired squinty-eyed [chubby-cheeks] Landrieu is not one for blacks to relate to. [Mary's campaign still uses her 1996 photos frequently because she has aged so badly]

Many Louisianan voters can remember that in the 1996 election in which Landrieu was eventually declared the winner, the election was very close and had TONS of allegations of voter fraud. Louisianans are tired of the boss-Hog political curruption that was rife when Mary got elected. Poll watchers should be aware of this possibly happening again.

By contrast, Louisiana knows that Suzie Terrell will give Louisana a much stronger voice in the new Republican-led Senate.


Louisianans are also very well aware that we have massive TERRORISM occurring around the world, and in our country, and in particular, in Louisiana, and Republicans are our best defense against the 'Blame-American-First' crowd.


.
Louisiana was home to the West Nile Virus attack on HUMANS in the spring, months before the rest of the country!

By August 8th, the human outbreaks were STILL limited to the Louisiana area and neighboring states. Then it mushroomed due to migratory birds that had spread it in the spring from Louisiana, along the Mississippi and Ohio river migration paths throughout the midwest...

Suzie Turrell needs ALL LOUISIANA's support!
Contact her campaign to help out.

Suzie will be here tomorrow, Friday. Bush is scheduled to be in Louisiana week of Dec. 2nd. Suzie ,goes to NY for a rally with Pataki, Rudy and Sen. Werner. Rudy will come to Louisiana this next week. Preisdent George Herbert Walker Bush will be in the state this next week also. I have reported on other threads that here in Alexandria, La. (central La.) the RNC has set up a headquarters for Suzie. This young republilcan group is energetic and very enthusiastic about working for Suzie. One of them was sent to Minnesota to work for Coleman and one worked directly under Ralph Reed to pull off the Georgia victories for Chambliss and the new governor. I will be poll watching in one of our precints on election day and will be spending the rest of the next week, working the phone bank and walking the neighborhoods. Moon Griffon the state wide talk radio host says not to pay attention to the polls, but get out the vote. The absentee voting here is higher than it has ever been. LSU will probably be going to Atlanta for a play off on Dec. 7th and hunting season starts that day, hope these are all republicans who are voting absentee.

It is strange. I read about x42 going over to London to visit Chelsea all the time. I don't think I've EVER read that #97 has gone to see her. What's up with that?

Something tells me that Landrieu is not too happy that the date of the runoff is Pearl Harbor day (December 7th). During that rememberence, it will be more difficult pulling the lever against the President who is protecting us against the perpetrators of another sneak attack.
