CNN Relentlessly Flogging The "Arnold Can't Be Stopped" Story
If they keep flogging the Gallup poll showing Arnold opening up a fifteen point lead over Bustamante that is going to depress turnout....


Of course, CNN is cable but local stations get their lead from national news...

This is sad.... Out of the four most populous states in the Union there is a better than a 50/50 chance they will have R governors....

We need to address this pathetic state of affairs....

3. Their Poll Is Driving The Story
but the story has the potential to depress turnout.....

I'm more interested in how we got to this point...

CA Dems have a substantial edge in registration.... Even if some Dems are dissatisfied with Davis why can't they prevail on Question 2....

6. Its Pathological!!!! Emotion wins once more. Unless we humans do something
real quick, the Pubs will take all of us to the grave in a most horrible way.

The XPubs, Body Snatchers, Aliens, etc, are brainwashing us to accept EMOTION as a given and to reject Sanity, Reality, and Reason.

4. Don't Let The Bastards Win
Yes, it appears the polls are driving this story at a critical time. It's sending a dual message:

Bustamante is a loser, so is Davis, so Dems...don't bother to vote.

McClintock can't win, only Arnold can...so get with the program or stay home.

It's so vital to let everyone you know in California to stand up and vote NO on the recall above anything else, and for them to get their friends and family to do the same. The only way to stand up to this distortion is grassroots.

8. It could be preparations
To steal the vote in California. They have to have a poll to show that Arnold is ahead to make the theft seem credible.

11. Bingo. Note this pattern, you'll be seeing it over and over again....
All polls up to the final week show Dem ahead...then last week poll shows Repuke overtaking "confirmed" by election results.

12. I really wish someone would persue the truth about the abuse stories
If those stories are true it really makes me sick that one California voter would vote for Scharzenegger. But where are the victims?

The woman he alledgedly molested outside a trailor, if he were a Democratic we would all know her name and address.

13. Who Did He Molest
I'm willing to accept that Aronold is a philandering horndog but who did he molest?
