There’s a difference between cheering for your team and shutting your eyes blindly to the facts.

Tormod, thanks. The people who built ole Elly did a great job, but no one expected that Elly would have to face 50 mile winds. Heck, my daughter nearly got her first flying lesson while carrying a Bouchard lawn sign.

We had a lot of people honking in approval as they drove past in their cars, and trucks. I have no doubt that our local electorate are excited this year.

If I were Howard Dean and I was looking at Maryland, I’d panic.

Really?

Think Md race is over. My best guess is MO goes Dem, TN goes Rep and VA could go either way. I wish the election were today, I grow weary of this constant barrage.

Rasmussen is the best pollster in the country, second only to Mason-Dixon. We’re not talking Zogby here. Rasmussen accurately predicted the results of the Virginia Gubernatorial and New Jersey Gubernatorial elections last year.

Take a look:

Bullshit.

Michael Barone exposed the pollsters this weekend. They always overpoll or too-heavily-weigh the DEMOCRATS.

The two big scandals this year will be: Polling exposed as extremely unreliable because of partisanship. And the media is an integral part of the Democratic Party.

This election may just put the final nail in the media coffin.

Remember EVERYTHING we hear about a Democratic landslide is based upon polling. Then the media starts hyping up what are polls with built-in pro-democratic bias.

Ironically, Noam Chomsky coined the term: MANUFACTURING CONSENT. They are trying to manufacture a victory for the Democrats.

As Mark Halprin said on Hugh Hewitt’s show today:

MH: I never say MSM, because I don’t believe the old media is mainstream. They’re out of the mainstream on most of the issues I’ve been referring to. So I don’t use that phrase. I believe that as I’ve said several times, happy to say again, that anyone who’s conservative in this country has every justification to be skeptical about anything, an internal memo, or product that goes on the air, from the old media, because of a forty year or more history of liberal bias on a range of issues. And after what CBS News did in 2004, regarding the President’s National Guard record, I would be…I am thankful that any conservative looks to us every for news and information, given how outrageous what they did was.

I watched the News Hour tonight and they had a segment on concerning the election and the upcoming “Democratic sweep.” Honest to God, the two “guests” were doing endzone dances already.

Bullshit.

Moron. Kilgore cost himself the governorship last year because of that ridiculous attack ad. And now Allen is going to cost himself a senate seat because of this stupid attack on what Jim Webb wrote in a fiction book. Don’t actually criticize the guy for his record or anything. No, criticize his fiction. Fantastic plan. Just like Rick Santorum claiming Bob Casey is “guilty of terrorism and genocide”.

Yeah, that’s really going to save your ass, Rick.

Thanks Georgey, you just cost us the senate, because Dems are hyperpartisan this year and are not going to dump Menendez or Cardin. They would have elected Torrisceli from a jail cell in 2002 if they’d had a chance. NJ and Maryland are just too Democratic in a year where Bush derangement syndrome is too widespread.

Now it’s going to come down to Missouri and Tennessee.

Rasmussen Premium Section:
“Virginia: Challenger James Webb (D) has taken a modest lead over Senator George Allen in a Sunday night survey. It’s Webb 51% Allen 46%.

Favorables for the candidates a……

I am starting to get this crazy idea that all this Anit-Allen stuff here has more to do with 08 than 06.

TheBigOldDog on October 30, 2006 at 8:29 PM

Make that two of us with that crazy idea.

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Allan will win. Get out the vote.

Has anyone changed Webb’s batteries lately?

Ross

That’s great news, SENATOR Allen!

.

I read that too about the 1/4 absentee – that’s usually good for us but I don’t know what to make of any stats at this point.

Allen in contrast gave the riposte to the Foley manufactured outrage by simply drawing people’s attention to Webb’s kitchy, lousy published prose. (Banana anyone?)
Didn’t you all hear the boos in the audience when the reporter demanded Allen explain what relgion his mother practiced? Those were the booes of voters who knew pure slime when they saw it. Remember how the polls were reporting that Kerry was ahead in VA over Bush? It took two seconds before the mind said, “Kerry ahead of Bush in Virginia? Nooo way.” Allen hasn’t slimed anyone, Webb’s own words are sufficent for a self-slime. So, what smutgate? The slime is coming from the Democrats.

I’ve read where as many as 1/4th of the voters have voted with absentee ballots. I doubt if we will know the actual results within a week of the 7th., and we do want the votes of our troops to be counted.

Did you run across the picture of the float I worked on?

I’m all nervous and excited about Nov. 7th but I had to vote absentee, as I’m out of town for work that week. Hope to get on line for the special night. I live for such!
