1 I know. I went back and read some of the posts on liberal sites like Democratic Underground from the past two weeks, showing their reactions as the polls tightened. One of the common themes was how you can't trust Rasmussen. You have to add 5 points for the Dems. to whatever Rasmussen shows, etc. Idiots.

2 yes. yes he is.

Posted by: dudeinsantacruz at January 20, 2010 10:29 PM (3wYSZ)

3 Of course he is in the eyes of dem, how dare he only poll likely voters and not over sample some heavily democrat demographics.

4 Does he have The Won's nuts on his chin? If not...... yes, he is still Hitler.

9 Well, Ras' "best" result was Coakley +2, so I'm quite sure there's a few obots that would take that.  Imagine the shit in their pants (well, don't) when PPP and Suffolk ("good, honest pollsters") came out.

He is the devil until he stops that "somewhat approve" shit;

Just ask the most important question: "would you vote for Obama again if the 2008 race were held again today?"

That is the only relevant question, and the dumbass should ask it every day as a gauge. "Somewhat" approval means shit. I "somewhat approved" of Clinton signing the Pubbies' Welfare Reform, but I'd never vote for the cocksucker in a million years.

29 Ace - You're asking "Is Scott Rasmussen still Hitler?"
You should be asking if Glenn Beck is Ama-dinna-jacket after today's jump the shark moment regarding fathers razing their daughters.

When my dad met my fiance all he said was "thank you. i'll be sure to send you payments every year you actually keep her" and this was at the dinner with mom, grandma, and the proprietors of the family restaurant where my family and I had dined for over 5 years every week. I had the waiters laughing, the owners of the restaurant, the dishwashers, my mom and grandmother, all in league with my dad...at my expense - or was it my father's????........hmmmmm.

(pause for an austin powers/dr. evil "thought" moment)

its 17 freakin years later and i'm still married to the same guy my dad actually thanked at my wedding for taking me off his hands.

do you think I should call child protective services or a lawyer and sue my parents for abuse for these verbal volleys? or should I take it as a sign that I was well loved and secure in that knowledge to the point my family could make these statements?

 i don't know what crawled up beck's ass today regarding brown but i've changed my radio channel preset button from his station to another after today's shitstorm.

After the last year we've had to endure with Obama, I just can't take anyone who can't celebrate the moment and have a sense of humor.

beck is on his way to becoming a right wing olberman and that hurts me to say. he can turn it around but today beck was a total clod.

Let's see, so far, Obama has authorized 14,000 troops for Haiti, although 500 to 1,000 would have sufficed, and most of those troops don't even have a defined mission there yet.

But that silly twit in your White House is sending only 30,000 troops to Afganistan, instead of the 40,000 (minimum) which were requested by the Commanding Gemeral on the ground there.

Never mind that Haiti's hero, Hugo Chaqvez, hasn't done squat for the Communist regime or for the other people in Haiti, showing that that fat blowhard is all talk, no action, and all hat, no cattle - just bravado.

Hugo and Barack are two of a kind - empty suits and blowhards. What a mess.

63 DESPITE THE FACT WE WON, THERE WAS CLEAR CHEATING BY THE DEMS IN MA:

The problem was that Brown's margin of victory was so large, the cheating couldn't win it for Coakley.  What is my evidence?

Witness the steadily increasing margin of victory for Coakley in Boston (the natural place for Dems to cheat since it is so liberal there, they could claim any margin of victory for the Democrat and still be considered a viable outcome).  In Boston, Coakley started the night in a dead tie with Brown.  As the night went on, the margin of victory steadily increased in Boston to eventually end at about 39%!

Those of you who follow statistics and elections know that the margin of victory in an area usually changes relatively little throughout the count.  Statewide, Brown started ahead by about 5% and ended ahead by about 5%.  A 39% leap screams that Boston was throwing in EXTRA VOTES for Coakley as the night progressed to try to make up for his lead elsewhere.

Looking at this guys voting record he seem to be fairly good (he voted againt the healthscam bill and against crap and tax). He hasn't been in office long enough to get a rating from ACU though.

Bauer is putting on an early full court press but it is still way to early to put much into it. In polling he is behind some of the other potential candidates but those polls really don't mean much right now. They are really nothing more than "name recognition" things.

In a few months the politicking will be fast and furious and the candidates will have to actually publish some positions on issues. And like everywhere else, SC the big issue is the economy.

Unemployment is traditionaly high here and currently it is really high.

Brown has done a great job of shaking up the Obama program. He has shown himself to be a great campaigner, at least in this situation, but we have yet to see how he performs in the Senate. The greatest campaigner in recent times, maybe ever, has created problems we will be a long time getting rid of, so let's not go overboard on another great campaigner until we see what he's made of.

He only won by a 5% margin, and it wouldn't take much for them to turn around and bite him in the ass.

The UNÂ’s top climate change body has issued an unprecedented apology over its flawed prediction that Himalayan glaciers were likely to disappear by 2035.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said yesterday that the prediction in its landmark 2007 report was “poorly substantiated” and resulted from a lapse in standards.

Yeah, they had that on Fox earlier. They included a statement that they meant 2050. Hahahahahaha

Wasn't there a report out a few days ago that said that ENTIRE thing about the snow melting on the Himilayas was a fraud and based on nothing more than an verified opnion over the phone and zero actual science?

I kept waiting to hear someone bring that up, but I forgot this is F&F and they support AGW.

Posted by: Vic at January 21, 2010 03:54 AM (QrA9E)

89 Here's more from the story, Vic:

It emerged last week that the prediction was based not on a consensus among climate change experts but on a media interview with a single Indian glaciologist in 1999. That scientist, Syed Hasnain, has now told The Times that he never made such a specific forecast in his interview with the New Scientist magazine.

“I have not made any prediction on date as I am not an astrologer but I did say they were shrinking fast,” he said. “I have never written 2035 in any of my research papers or reports.” Professor Hasnain works for The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) in Delhi, which is headed by Rajendra Pachauri, head of the climate change panel.

If he get re-elected in 2012, he should be set for a long time. There has been simmering discontent here for over two decades. As long as Senator Brown continues to refuse to let MSM ijits frame the debate, he should do fine.

98 The problem isn't with Scott Brown, it's with his electorate/constituents... He's in the unenviable position of having to keep a bunch of fickle Liberal/Progressives happy.

I thought Brown was crystal clear in his post-victory NBC interview that has little interest in national health care reform, since Mass already takes care of it on the state level.  So, even in Mass, he's in the position that the super-Red-Staters are in:  his Party, his constituents, AND the people who might one day elect him to a higher office all want national health care killed.

Now, health care is a unique issue for the Chowds.  I have no idea how he's going to keep them happy on the other issues that made Ted Kennedy so popular.  I hope he just keeps pressing the "JFK would've puked on Harry Reid" stuff -- very effective.

99 last night Batchelor had his "china expert" mary kissel on.   They were discussing the google/yahoo/india mess.   She reported to john that China used to be a level one risk meaning "watch them very carefully".  Mary noted that in recent days they have become a level 2 risk meaning "watch them occassionally, but they still need to be watched".  Mary was very upset over this.  She said that you can't treat someone the way you wish them to be, you need to treat them the way they are in the moment.   Wonder what the implications of this little discussion are.

Yes, the push will be on today by Obama for a new Fascist attack on the banks.  I had hoped for those bank CEOs to grow some balls during the grilling they got but I guess it was hopeless.

 

It is also hopeless to expect ANYONE in the news business, including Fox, to actually lay the blame for this financial mess where it is due, solely on the commiecrats.  Cavuto did do a one hour special back in 2008 that detailed a lot of it but I guess he has been denutted since then. He never speaks of it anymore.

 

Obama will scream for yet more intrusive regulations on the banks and hope that the Republicans oppose him on it so he can have a new “populist” attack means for the commies to use during the 2010 elections.

 

If he really wanted to “fix” the banking industry he would remove 99% of the government from the banks and abolish CRA.  That will never happen.  

 

Also, from some of the comments from last night it appears that Axelrod is active again in preparation for the 2010 elections. We are infested with a couple of concern trolls.

"Obama will scream for yet more intrusive regulations on the banks and hope that the Republicans oppose him on it so he can have a new “populist” attack means for the commies to use during the 2010 elections."

So his idea to gain "populist" cred is to continue demonizing banks and harming business in the midst of a recession and high unemployment? Didn't anyone ever tell him not to go full retard? This ain't Venezuala numbnuts.

108 Vic, Batchelor had a guest on the other night.  The guest described the hearing.  He said they were asked "softball questions".  He kept saying he was shocked when the media reported the hearings as a "grilling" when he was there, at the eharing, all day and he saw nothing of the sort.  He kept asking the question over and over and he kept saying he had a lot of questions he wanted asked and none of them were.   Didn't hear the whole interview.  Think it was on Sunday but not sure.  But I thought it was curious.  Why would you describe something as a "grilling" if people who were in the room are going to say that no "grilling' occurred?

I didn't wat the hearings. I have only seen highlights on the news and those highlights did not look like "softball" questions. In fact, to me they were the tyical Demoncrap accusations of everything from devilworship to baby killing. 

Who is Batchelor and who was his guest?

111 Batchelor has an excellent program.  He has excellent connections.  He is a little bit too cerebral sometimes but that is what is so fascinating about his program.  I think right now he is only on in Washington and New York.  He was on for years as Batchelor and Alexander and then alone as the John Batchelor Show.  He went away for a while and has come back again.  His reporting that Sunday night when Behr Stearns was in crisis should have won an award.  I will never forget that show "two dollars, two dollars that can't be right".  said John.  You should listen to him, you crave intelligence in the media and more often than not you are so disappointed.  I believe the guest was someone from WSJ.

Vic, this is his station link.

Thanks for the link. I had never heard of him before. I noted that he is on WBT out of Charlotte, NC from 09:00-13:00. Perhaps I will fire up my old Icom SW reciever and 150 ft long wire antenna and tune him him one afternoon.

I did go and read 5 of his columns. He is hard down on the Huck. I give him a plus for that. The problem is he down on the Tea Partiers, Palin and Cheney as well.  It appears to me that he is part of the NE old style country club Republicans.

IOW, he is part of the RINO wing of the Party and doesn't really beleive in conservatism.

But that is based on just what he had to say about some other members of the Party.

Those of you who follow statistics and elections know that the margin of victory in an area usually changes relatively little throughout the count.T  Statewide, Brown started ahead by about 5% and ended ahead by about 5%.  A 39% leap screams that Boston was throwing in EXTRA VOTES for Coakley as the night progressed to try to make up for his lead elsewhere.

Bill,

Not necessarily so! I follow both, and while I am sure there was some cheating, the fact that the count jump so quickly could be a function of busy precincts not reporting until all voters have voted.  The rule is if you're in line at closing you get to vote.  That means 50-60 or more people could vote after polls officially close.  Also a dems will put less voting machines in pro gop precincts to discourage voters by making long lines.  The Black precincts, which go 90% democrat, are notorious for be lazy and late.  That mostly explains the jump in the vote, Black precincts.

Actually, if you watched the returns in Boston closely throughout the evening, you will see that every time new numbers were added, the gap increased a few percentage points.  This would indicate that each new district reporting had significantly more votes for Coakley than the previous districts.  Odd that.  A small change may be expected, but a 39% increase?  IMHO, no.

** Also, keep in mind that if your goal was to constantly pepper in new fake votes throughout the count so that no one district appeared to be supplying all the fakes, this is EXACTLY what the results would have looked like.
