BigSqwert Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) And all of a sudden, McCain is the liberal media darling again. Now why is that? Now I'll tell you... It's because the conservatives have vetted Huckabee and can't stand the idiot. The media was salivating over Huckabee because he would be easy fodder to become the "right wing nut" during the nomination process and leadup to election day. As YASNY pointed out, McCain is nothing but a jackass in an elephant suit, which is why people like NSS like him. Think about it. So who do you support?

Rex Kickass Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Clearly it was the remnants of Dole/Kemp '96.... hoping to get written in by the 15 GOP Iowans that will actually show up to their caucus tonight. It's most definitely not beneath Ron Paul to do something like this btw. The guy isn't nearly as all about the love as his supporters would make you believe. It's a desperate act from a guy who raised enough money that he should be competitive but won't be, because his supporters are so rabid, he just reminds everyone of Lyndon LaRouche.

All current and former clients were listed to show how widely used this company is.

Ron Paul is pretty popular among "lefties" due to his stance on the War in Iraq and civil liberties (not all people who lean Democrat do so because they want a European socialist-lite government). I think he's more hated by the pro-Bush 25% than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 It will be interesting in the next few days to see what the Iowa results do to the NH polls for both parties. for the GOP, I looked at the latest non-Zogby, non-ARG polls. I am a little skeptical of the WHDH/Suffolk tracking poll, because if you look at its day-to-day results, they are all over the place. For example, McCain's numbers for the last few days (PRIOR to Iowa, so no effect there yet), have gone 31-32-29-25, which is a big set of swings. Romney 25-23-25-29, Giuliani 14-11-9-9... the swings are just too big, compared to when, say, Rasmussen does a tracking poll, they tend to only shift a point in a day, maybe two at most. The Franklin Pierce poll has a pretty low number at 419 polled, so I am a bit skeptical there too. CNN's poll uses 1000 correspondants. Looking at those two... ___________Pierce__CNN McCain...........37........29 Romney..........31........29 Huckabee........5.........10 Giuliani...........10........12 Paul................6..........7 Thompson........2..........2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I think it really is a bodily function for him. He flatlined in Iowa and he's struggling in New Hampshire, but Rudy Giuliani shook off the early-state blues Thursday as only he can. "None of this worries me - Sept. 11, there were times I was worried," Giuliani said. "We're sitting in a pretty good position right now. So we're not worried and not concerned," he told a news conference here. "Maybe other people acted nervous in a situation like this, but this is not unexpected."

Balta1701 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Meanwhile, here's a McCain one yesterday for folks to chew on, from a town meeting in New Hampshire yesterday (video at link). Q: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years — (cut off by McCain) McCAIN: Make it a hundred. Q: Is that … (cut off) McCAIN: We’ve been in South Korea … we’ve been in Japan for 60 years. We’ve been in South Korea 50 years or so. That would be fine with me. As long as Americans … Q: [tries to say something] McCAIN: As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That’s fine with me, I hope that would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where Al Queada is training and equipping and recruiting and motivating people every single day.

Rex Kickass Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Honestly, that's weak star power. Dems might not be great at winning elections when it comes to the Presidential race. After all in 2004, Kerry trots out Springsteen and half of Hollywood. Bush got Billy Ray Cyrus and the born again Baldwin brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Lemon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm watching the debate right now and I despise Romney more than ever.
