1. ole I havent met a war yet I wouldnt support is winning? must have the insurance lobbyists pounding

the street for her.

[calteacherguy]

2. You do realize that polling organization was 20 points off

the night before the 2000 N.H. primary, right? You also realize that only 6-10% of Iowans participate in a caucus, right? You understand that many people are gone for the Holidays in Iowa, right?

Merry Christmas and enjoy your poll. :hi:

[MonkeyFunk]

7. and you realize

they were just about right-on in 2004?

[calteacherguy]

8. Well, I suppose if you roll the dice you're bound to get lucky at some point.

Any poll taken in Iowa has a good chance of being 10-20 points off, in my opinion. That goes for polls that favor my candidate or those that don't.

[MonkeyFunk]

30. So when they're off

it's due to malfeasance. When they're right, it's just luck?

[Lucinda]

32. Where do they go for the holidays? Most people I know are home.

:) They also are usually right in line with the other polls with the MOE considered.

3. Barack Winfrey?

Someone must have woken up with coal in his stocking. And we were doing so good today on the name-calling.

[sandnsea]

5. The avatar says it all

That's all this person does, posts nasty garbage day in and day out. I don't know how he hasn't been banned yet.

[Clintonista2]

11. You're one to talk

[earthlover]

33. Doesn't he mean Hillary Streisand? SARC

I'm sorry, but crappy references to Oprah's endorsement of Obama is stuff I would expect to read in far right wing nut journals and confederate flag waving redneck publications. What are they doing here?

[bowens43]

4. Barack Winfrey?

What are you, about 12 years old? Pathetic.

[JAbuchan08]

28. You spoke for me there

childish

[Syrinx]

6. why do they hate Edwards?

He's (slightly) ahead of Obama.

[Donnachaidh]

9. only dumbasses pay attention to the polls this close to the primary

of course, the dopey slur against Obama proves the point. :eyes:

[AZ Criminal JD]

19. Guess all the campaigns are dumbasses then

If you had ever been involved in a campaign you would know all the candidates and the campaign managements are spending this Christmas day going over every poll they can put their hands on.

[Webster Green]

10. Barack Winfrey?

Holy shit! That is lame beyond belief!

[Occam Bandage]

12. Surprising to see, perhaps, but it is heartening that

she seems to have her husband's ability to recover almost miraculously.

Also, "Barack Winfrey" is incredibly stupid.

[Sultana]

13. Grow Up!

Pathetic name calling. Are you also going to refer to him as Barack Osama?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[philly_bob]

14. "Barack Winfrey," eh? Please dial down the partisanship. nt.

[aquart]

15. Barack Winfrey? Unnecessary and inappropriate.

Nobody likes a poor winner.

18. I hope this poll comforts you on the morning of January 4th.

[Vickers]

20. Barack Winfrey? That's just fucking stupid.

But hey, you knew that.

[natrat]

21. oh the junta is pushing for a mcain clinton contest---fuck both of them

[Nedsdag]

22. "Barack Winfrey?"

Keep it up, Hillary fans, third party is looking better and better.

Go ahead, bring up the Republicans and the Supreme Court, that ain't working with me.

[gulliver]

26. Why assume the OP is a Hillary fan?

Could just as easily be a Kucinich or McCain fan... When someone supports something in an "ineffective" way (as in using the childish "Barack Winfrey" to taunt Obama supporters) they could be doing it out of childishness or because they are against the person they appear to be supporting.

As has been said many times, a bad argument is the enemy of a good cause. Don't forget that anonymous people can take advantage of that.

[ClarkUSA]

31. Because he/she is an Hillaryworlder.

Check the DU archives.

[oasis]

35. Why threaten to bolt to a third party when you can go now and avoid the stampede?

:kick:

[Bitwit1234]

23. Gee are they calling you names for posting this. I even had the link

and
American Idol Obama candidate supporters were messing themselves. And the funny thing was....the polling company that had Obama ahead a week ago is the same one with these poll results.

Last week they were woo hooing and yah yahing...over the same company now they are saying they are bullshit...typical republican mentality tho, that's exactly what his supporters are.

[sniffa]

24. welcome back again

:hi:

[gristy]

25. dupe

Wires just starting to pick it up? This crap has been flying around here since early yesterday. Did you check for dupes? Do you care if this has been posted ad nauseum?

27. Freeper hogwash!

[Yael]

29. Whippee!!! Can you give me a Dean Roooooooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!?

[wiley]

34. K and R Stewie!

[Perry Logan]

36. So much for smearing Hillary as a campaign tactic.

[William769]

37. And a Merry Christmas it is!

[SoxFan]

38. Dick Bennett? HA!

You're citing an ARG poll? This firm is a joke!

* They don't have a boiler room and operate out of a tiny two room suite in downtown Manchester.

* It's a Republican firm. ARG polled for possible GOP gubernatorial candidate Frank Guinta and ex congressman Charlie Bass in last year.

* Bennett's work for Charlie Bass means that he has an axe to grind with Paul Hodes. Hodes defeated Bass and now serves as national co-chair of the Obama campaign.

* It's a pay-for-play operation. In 1990, Bennett took on a Democratic client in a US Senate race, took payment under the table, and released coked numbers to the press without disclosing his financial stake.

* Nobody has ever received a call from an ARG pollster. I know of people being contacted by Suffolk, UNH, Franklin Pierce, RKM, and Chervinsky, but never, ever ARG.

[Sancho]

39. These polls are definitely entertaining...but the bottom line is

to get a Democrat in the White House. With the rigged elections, it won't be easy no matter what the will of the votes may be...

[racaulk]

40. You lost me at "Barack Winfrey."

:thumbsdown:
