That's what I heard on a Columbus radio station on a Zogby poll.

Sherrod Brown's lead over DeWine was only one point.

You knew it was coming. Blackwell's been acting so smug in the last couple of weeks, like he knows something.

1. Was that a zogby online poll?
They're not worth the internet tubes they're transmitted in.

4. It's an interactive poll.
The Zogby poll has Blackwell at 43.3%, Strickland at 50.8%. 3.7% margin of error.

6. B-shit. According to Zogby, McGavick is only 4 points behind
Edited on Tue Oct-31-06 07:33 PM by Bumblebee
Cantwell whereas in all other polls, including SurveyUSA, it's almost 15 points. Zogby should not be trusted -- even when it's in our favor -- unless supported by other polls. His reputation for accuracy is so low now that Real Clear Politics does not even feature his polls with the rest.

7. Those are Zogby's interactive polls
which is as much of a bullshit poll as the one saying that Lamont is within 4 of Lieberman.

8. Suddenly, overnight
people are changing their minds? I don't buy it. Not for a second.

Blackwell better take a long hard look at Jeff Skillings sentence. If he has fraud on his mind, this is what happens when you get caught. And with voter fraud on the front burner these days, they will get caught.

9. And Diebold is SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER for HBO to pull their documentary!
What I'm wondering is if they had heartburn when ABC ran the bogus "Path to 911" shit piece?

BTW.. the polls they showed on CNN today sure didn't show Sherrod and DeWHINE as a point apart. They said the GOP was pretty much bagging DeWHINE at this point.

What is it... polls are changing every 15 minutes?

Good Gawd that sonnuva bitch is butt-ugly.

12. CNN says not so
Published today

In the Buckeye State, Democratic Rep. Ted Strickland led Secretary of State Ken Blackwell by a margin of 59 percent to 36 percent among likely voters in a race to succeed outgoing Republican Gov. Bob Taft.

18. Geez Bullshot.. I sure hope you weren't listening to LimpBalls or some other rightie?
If you were... SHAME ON YOU!

Don't you get Big Eddie (Jones Radio Network) or any of the Air America programs where you live?

If you're at a computer and you DON'T get any of the progressive radio shows, you can always listen to them on-line.

14. Bunk...pure bunk
Signing up for interactive polls can be skewed...like a Google bomb

Blackwell is still down double digits in the actual scientific polls....DeWine down by a lot too.

19. Works well w/ the Kerry distraction
GOP has already pulled their money out of Ohio. What we're seeing now is Rove dirty tricks, bogus polling, etc.

20. Yup, it's lining up perfectly, isn't it?
YEt, we reality-based Dems are vilified here for LOOKING AT REALITY.

Sorry reality brings ya down, folks... You can always just have a good, stiff drink.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate this band of CRIMINALS??

He hired a GOP operative who was involved in covering up Coingate last summer.

24. impossible
Edited on Wed Nov-01-06 01:50 AM by cobaindrain
Every recent poll has Brown over DeWine by anywhere from 10-20pts? What has happened recently to cause such a shift?

Strickland is safe, no worries here.

25. I do online Zogby polls all the time
any Freeper who wants to can get on that list.

Really, Blackwell steals the election and we impound all machines and Republican candidates until they squeal the truth.

I'm more concerned with the fact that Lieberman is going to lose, based on my internal polls of friends who just said they would vote for him to stop the incredible harrassment. It's going to be ugly, and he is going to cry bloody murder.
