PoliCHARTZ - Thread of U.S. Politics & the Presidential Election

[steven787]

Fox news and the Examiner: CNN` "warped" this comment:

‘I can't tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, or all of the above.'

This is the full quote:

"Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it's sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward or - well, all of the above."

They claim that the original was aimed at the press... it was, the article was pro-Palin.

But guess what.  That IS the question running in many people's minds.

How can people really be defending this person's intelligence?  OMG, the world is ending.

Are you a Republican in Congress?  Wanna win re-election?  Be honest about Palin.  Be a Maverick.

 

 

In other news, FoxNews is reporting two polls tonight that are too close to call.  They are right, well kinda.

FOX News	10/20 - 10/21	936 LV	3.0	49	40	Obama +9
Rasmussen Reports	10/19 - 10/21	3000 LV	2.0	51	45	Obama +6
Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby	10/19 - 10/21	1208 LV	2.9	52	42	Obama +10
Gallup (Traditional)*	10/19 - 10/21	2384 LV	2.0	50	45	Obama +5
Gallup (Expanded)*	10/19 - 10/21	2299 LV	2.0	52	44	Obama +8
Hotline/FD	10/19 - 10/21	782 LV	3.5	47	42	Obama +5

 

None of those are too close to call.  They are talking about these:

GWU/Battleground	10/15 - 10/21	1000 LV	3.1	49	47	Obama +2
Associated Press/GfK	10/16 - 10/20	800 LV	3.5	44	43	Obama +1

These were 4 day polls, that started before the Powell endorsement and before Palin declaration of two-Americas (a pro- and an anti).  And even then they fall in with a bunch of really favorable Obama polls.

This is the whole spectrum:

RCP Average	10/15 - 10/21	--	--	49.9	42.9	Obama +7.0
FOX News	10/20 - 10/21	936 LV	3.0	49	40	Obama +9
Rasmussen Reports	10/19 - 10/21	3000 LV	2.0	51	45	Obama +6
Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby	10/19 - 10/21	1208 LV	2.9	52	42	Obama +10
Gallup (Traditional)*	10/19 - 10/21	2384 LV	2.0	50	45	Obama +5
Gallup (Expanded)*	10/19 - 10/21	2299 LV	2.0	52	44	Obama +8
Hotline/FD	10/19 - 10/21	782 LV	3.5	47	42	Obama +5
ABC News/Wash Post	10/18 - 10/21	1330 LV	2.5	54	43	Obama +11
IBD/TIPP	10/17 - 10/21	1088 LV	3.0	46	42	Obama +4
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl	10/17 - 10/20	1159 RV	2.9	52	42	Obama +10
GWU/Battleground	10/15 - 10/21	1000 LV	3.1	49	47	Obama +2
Associated Press/GfK	10/16 - 10/20	800 LV	3.5	44	43	Obama +1
Ipsos/McClatchy	10/16 - 10/20	773 LV	3.5	50	42	Obama +8
CNN/Opinion Research	10/17 - 10/19	764 LV	3.5	51	46	Obama +5
Pew Research	10/16 - 10/19	2382 LV	2.5	53	39	Obama +14

Funny that Foxnews isn't reporting their own poll.

 

 

Edit: Newt Gingrich just said (paraphrased): Obama is the CNN, NBC, NYT candidate, Powell proves he is the Washington establishment candidate.  Maybe all the people showing up to the McCain rallies are the Joe the Plumbers, the working americans.

Yes because all the people who show up to the Obama rallies are the elite.  Very smart.  Alienate more people.
