Why is it the Lamont Lieberman poll with Ned trailing by 10 points is |
|
Edited on Mon Aug-28-06 03:20 PM by saracat
considered great news and the fact that Jim Pederson is only trailing Jon Kyl by 4 points isn't worth commenting on? The arizona race is far from over yet it is being written off. I am tired of the pick and choose mentality and favoritism of not only the MSM the DSCC but DU as well.We should be cheering on ALL our candidates. It isn't over till the fat lady sings and she ain't singing yet! Go Jim! Arizona is going blue!

14. That poll she refers to is an old one, I think. Race is closer now. |

Getting rid of Kyl would be a great thing. Go Arizona, Go!

3. um, its a Zogby interactive poll |
|
Pretty much useless. All the other polls show Pederson down by double digits. Pederson still has a shot if he can only get his act together. Almost a year and no traction...

10. Zogby's regular polling is different than his interactive ones |
|
The internet polls that people sign up to take only reflect a slim and non-representive minority of the public.

17. There are three different polls from three different sources. |
|
Lieberman leads in two, and one is a statistical tie.
Click on the WSJ link in the OP, then click on the word CT. The other polls are in the fine print of the popup window.

13. The Lamont race has received near-unprecedented coverage. |
|
There is no pick-and-choose mentality or favoritism going on; One race has been closely followed by the public, the other has not.

15. The reason ther Lamont race is bering followed so closely |
|
is that the MSM has spun it as a deal breaker and of signifigance as a liberal divide. The Pederson/Kyl race is equally important as we could pick up a seat in a red state.A Dem win in Conn. shouldn't be news. The "public" doesn't follow any race unless the media spins it.

16. DU has followed Lamont extensively, and it wasn't due to "media control" |
|
WE control this media. We followed Lamont because we as a population were very interested in the race.

18. There is some truth to that but the average Joe Voter, who is not on |
|
DU is being spun by the media. On DU many were interested because it was Lieberman but as a race itself it really isn't more important than other races.Conn. going blue shouldn't be a shock! It was amazing Lieberman snookered Conn for as long as he did. Now a red state going blue that should be news!
