Keating Holland, CNN poll analyst????
Mr. Holland included this gem in wrap up of the newly released Gallup poll

"So the pressure is on Kerry to meet expectations. And let's not forget the good news for the White House in this poll: Bush is still seen as a stronger leader who would better deal with Iraq and terrorism," Holland said.

The good news for the White House in this poll? Dip Shit in Chief just pissed away a 13pt lead in 5 days!!!!!!!!! I wonder how they would treat Kerry if he lost that kind of lead? CNN is unbelievable.

2. Snippet about Keating
http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?noframes;read=2465

(referring to a poll during Clinton's time)

And repeat it they did! At least two, and possibly three serious breaches of polling integrity have come to light so far in the Zippergate fiasco.

In the first situation, a leading pollster has admitted to manufacturing poll results to achieve a desired result. On the August 19, 1998, CNN Moneyline show with Lou Dobbs, CNN Polling Director Keating Holland discussed how he manipulated Clinton?s numbers upward to meet their expectations after plummeting from the Lewinsky affair. Holland?s justification for this breach of polling integrity was that the question had been worded wrong and if different wording had been used, Clinton?s numbers would have been higher!

4. This Is A Name We Need To Shine More Light On
Thank you for this post. When people wonder what's driving CNNservative, here's one place to look...and I'm certain there are many others. These are the people in the earpieces, writing the scrolls and manufacturing the news.

Since these people aren't on screen, they're invisible to us in name, but we surely see their handiwork. More of these type stories are greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

5. Of course
If Kerry was 99-1 up pressure will be on him to retain this lead. If he goes down to 98-2 it will be "momentum shifts to Bush"...

I really don't know what Kerry has to do for the whores to admit Bush is an idiot.
