Ya think?

“Senator Steele”—sounds pretty cool.

jdpaz on November 3, 2006 at 12:25 PM

Ah yes, aother ABC poll . . . this definitely means that Steele is ahead.

Such a skillful riposte! I am slain! Slain!

Slightly off topic, but related. We all have heard that Wikipedia can be edited. Just a couple of minutes ago, I looked up Karl Roves chapter and found this:

2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign and the sale of Rove + Company

In 2006, it was discovered that he is a blatant homosexual. He has fornicated several babies, and masturbated a turnip. What the HELL IS THIS DOING HERE???

I didn’t put the homosexual turnip reference in. I put the what the hell is this doing in here. First time I ever edited a Wikiarticle. WooHoo!

Anyway, I wonder if similar BS has been put in Micheal Steeles profile. I’m not too familiar with the details of his bio, so I’m not really qualified to edit/proofread his profile.

Anyway, for what ever it’s worth, thats what I saw and thats my two cents.

If African American voters evaluated who truly represents them better, they would vote Republican. Which party’s administration gave real support (not just lip service) to more AA’s than any previous administration, by judging based on content of character and ability to do job (Condi, Powell, etc) Answer: Bush-R. Under which party does AA home-ownership steadily increase? Answer: R. Which party panders and says “you can’t do for yourself, here’s a handout, please depend on us instead of yourself” Answer: D. And, it’s always been this way, we conservatives just haven’t touted the truth of it loud enough or often enough. AA’s seeem to forget that Lincoln was a republican, too.

Wow, this is great news!

So somewhere around 1500 of Maryland’s 5.3 million residents who were randomly selected and were willing to pick up the phone and answer questions, who were then winnowed down to those whom calculations predict were likely voters, and who then were run through a weighting program which balances their responses against the results of past electoral polling and the hunch that the pollster has about turnout in this election, definitively have moved this into a dead even race, or a 41-49 race, or a 49-41 race. Go Steele!

Unless, of course, there’s a last minute “trend”.

Some people also swear by stock market trading programs.

I’ll take my bare broken-glass Republican feet over any opinion poll–good or bad– any day of the year.

At this rate, Steele will win going away.

Then the media will gush over him, call him a rock star, and promote him for the presidency in 2008.

Oh, he’s a Republican? Nevermind.

Do check out Mary Katharine’s interview with Senator (I can dream, can’t I?) Steele. The “Hi, Mom” thing is precious.

jdpaz on November 3, 2006 at 1:43 PM

Let’s hope Mr. Undecided drops out of the race and asks his supporters to vote for Steele! Any chance of that happening?

Kevin M on November 3, 2006 at 12:30 PM

The Baltimore Sun article from Tuesday said that a lot more African Americans were saying they were undecided, as compared with before that endorsement from the Prince Georges County Democrats. I think that a lot of people who were definitely planning on voting D are now weighing the possibility of going with Steele. We can only hope.
And I must say, this post has made me happier than almost any other I’ve seen on Hot Air. I can’t WAIT to laugh at all the people driving around with Cardin stickers.

This means I may be able to return to the ” Democratic Peoples Republic of Maryland” I was able to escape 10 years ago across the Susquehanna River. I fear now that Pennsylvania will soon resemble the DPRM, or what is was….

I rooting for you Michael!!!!!!

Steele is one of the most important races the Republicans have had in the past 30 years. When he is elected, people will notice that our conservative gate is open (always haas been), and the minority Democrats will begin to walk through those gates. And we welcome them and their families. They can be free, reach their potential, achieve for themselves what the Democrat leaders have arrogantly kept for themselves. The minorities will learn that we (conservatives) want them to be educated, successful, with strong family values…we care for them, and are saddened that they have been kept down by the repressive, arrogant, racists, liberals. We value who they are, and who they will become…not for their votes, and not to expand our bureaucratic power. Our (Conservative) power comes from freedom and education.
Esquire call Steele a lawn jockey, after next week Cardin will be lucky if Steele hires him to cut his lawn. Despicable Liberals.

I read somewhere…on RealClearPolitics, I think…of a theory that many blacks may not tell a pollster they would vote for a Republican…kind of like a reverse of whites telling pollster they would vote for a black candidate, but not actually do it.

Interesting.

tommy1-
It’s either the effect of rounding or a late Democratic ‘Get out the Vote” effort among the Post-Metabolic community.
