Does anyone else think it’s kind of appalling that a twice-divorced dude gets no electoral love?

Doesn’t everyone know by now that love can be a pain in the ass?

Best. Comment. Ever!

Care to analyze what E&P is saying here:

Without even having to RTFA, sure. It’s E&P, so they’re saying “Conservatives suck, vote for progressives!”

A new Gallup poll shows Americans more likely to elect a woman or an African-American than a Mormon, an old guy or someone that has been married three times…….

The best example of a successful cult is islam. Cults control thru fear and punishment. No one is allowed to leave the cult, if they do … death. Women are almost exclusively subserviant in cults. The cult serves to enrich those in power.

(It is rare event when a HotAir comment causes me such embarassment because I burst-out laughing while I am here at work. All of the other people in the adjacent cubicles tend to stare at me in disapproval.)

Yes, for those of you in rio linda allusion to NRA.

Mitts the Man, so far.

That being said I would rather vote for Mitt than Obama, but I’d rather vote for Giuliani than Mitt.

So I wonder why they left out “muslim” in the poll. Plus, apparently this “sizable” percentage of Americans that thinks the Mormon faith is a cult think it’s ok to elect a muslim Congressman?

Do they only question the timing/motives when a Rethuglican is ahead? (Notice the utter lack of vote fraud claims in the last election, wher Dems swooped back to power)

Especially if you’re gay.

Good one!

However, if you go to the actual gallup poll, additional information about the poll is provided. For instance, Catholics, blacks, and Jews as candidates are essentially in a dead heat at 92% or higher.

In facts Catholics come out 1% point higher than black, which proves that E&P and Gallup are perhaps misleading the public. I think that Noam Chomsky used to use the term “manufacturing consent” for polls like this.

The poll sampled 1006 adults, 18 or older, NOT LIKELY VOTERS OR REGISTERED VOTERS. In addition, the demographic breakdown of the sample (age, race, gender, etc.) was not revealed.

The bottom line here: This poll is useless if not nonsense.

I think a black Jewish woman couldn’t lose.

Whoopi Goldberg it is!

Conservatives express more misgivings about candidates from all of the above categories — except the age question, where they are more disapproving of voting for someone 72 or over.

Unrelated, I’m sooooo tired of this 2-years out campaigning and constant running. When’s the actual leading?

Wait.

I think that’s POLE, not poll.
Oh, well — so much for Fat Tuesday.
