The phony Mason Dixon poll made it to the big time
Of all of the polls showing the TN senate race tied or very close with a 3-6 point difference between Ford and Corker the Mason Dixon poll showing Corker with a 12 point lead is the one CNN and MSNBC are showing..This poll is full of sampling errors.
I noticed that in all the polls that Mason Dixon has conducted has given the Republicans a boost..Strange Coincidence
....Oh but the Rove desperation tactics are now in full force...
Note :The banner on CNN reads, 81% of Democratic ads are negative.. just now.. unbelievable.

1. What?
So they don't think rethug ads are negative? That's ridiculous.

4. Thats correct
81%..I just emailed CNN's (In the money political segment) and asked who came up with these stats..That they certainly haven't been watching or listening to the same ads I have.
If we think the bullshit is bad today just wait until tomorrow it will get worse.
What gets me is these phony polls and the sudden surge by Republicans...Maybe we are being set up for another election theft.

6. I really hope you're wrong.
I don't know where this sudden advance by the rethugs is being made. Pretty much everyone I've talked to is ready to get rid of them. I think these polls are complete bs.

8. There is just no way,in fact impossible to conduct a
poll at this point in time that is anywhere near accurate..If one checks the details and looks at the sampling numbers that alone confirms the inaccuracies.These polls serve as a MSM talking point and thats all.

9. Exactly.
I think they're trying to discourage us from voting.

2. I hope that explains what I was seeing this afternoon
It was depressing to wake up and hear "Repugs are rallying in several close races"...until I realized what day it was and remembered how much respect Repugs really have for it.

5. CNN 'flip-flops' a lot about this stuff
i think what is happening is the newsroom gets truthful then gets slapped down by their corporate masters, rinse, repeat.

10. Craig Crawford is now saying the Kerry "flap" has had an effect
on independent voters. Yeah,right. He said about 18 percent or so of them have said they will reconsider their previous decision to vote Democratic because of what Kerry said. YEAH, RIGHT! I had to turn off the election news because all of them are saying the Republicans are closing the gap.

I say we get two Senate pick-ups and maybe between 10 and 14 House seats. They own the darn vote counters. Now the news has the Republicans supposedly gaining ground, I won't say surging, but that's all they needed. A simple perception of momentum. I still have hope for the House, but 10 to 14 seats wouldn't surprise me unless something changes big time in the news cycle and the so called election analysis to the Democratic favor by tomorrow.

Slipping in enthusiam due only to a migraine and a total distrust of our voting system...and now, once again, the MSM.
