BREAKING: Hillary conducting push-polls in California

[Halliburton]

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/02/breaking-news-p.html

Her campaign has yet to comment
:wow:

[frogcycle]

1. DU should ban the use of the word "BREAKING:" in post titles

it should be reserved for breaking wind

oh, wait....

18. Today's NYT: Obama Lied to Iowa Voters

Claimed his legislation passed when it did not.

He also diluted his original bill to force Nuclear power plants
to report leakage, to accomodate republicans.

Not only this he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from
proponants of Nuclear Power.

38. Push polling is a very serious charge. Start your own thread if you want something else

I would like to know if the Clinton campaign is doing push polling or not

If ANY campaign is doing this, I would like to know

[Abacus]

42. She was push polling in SC also,

but CNN buried that headline after an hour.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/21/anti-obama-push-polling-alleged-in-south-carolina/

[still_one]

45. She didn't seem to get the message in South Carolina, and this will hurt her

here also. What a stupid move

I think California is going to surprise everyone with how well Obama does

[Abacus]

43. That's the second time I've seen you folks manipulate a headline.

The actual headline is "Nuclear Leaks and Response Tested Obama in Senate".

[HeraldSquare212]

49. Hillary was co-sponsor

Indian Point in NY state, near NYC, is a serial offender on reporting and evacuation requirements. Where was her follow-through if this was so important?

[Adelante]

24. Yes, it's a major pain, because you see BREAKING for days after

I'm responding to your post title, not your post.

[ugdude]

2. Does this suprise you?

""That's when I caught on," said Coghlan. He realized then that he was being push-polled. That malicious political virus that is designed not to elicit answers but to spread positive information about one candidate and negative information about all others under the guise of an honest poll had arrived in Southern California within days of the important election.

It could become an issue in the closing hours of the campaign.

Someone who obviously favors Hillary Clinton is paying an unidentified company to spread this material phone call by phone call among independent voters, who can, according to California party rules, opt to vote in the Democratic but not the Republican primary on Feb. 5, when nearly two dozen states will choose a large chunk of the delegates to the parties' national conventions next summer."

HRC campaign has been dirty and disgusting from the beginning. No morals what-so-ever.

3. gee, Hillary is sinking to Rovian tactics, color me not surprised

Her volunteers here in town have been seen knocking down Obama signs. One of our volunteers saw them pulling up signs and throwing them in the trunk of their car yesterday.

[Tellurian]

8. I heard the Obama Camp people were dressed in Hillary shirts

doing the same thing.. hmm.

[NightWatcher]

12. heard? like from a guy? wow, that's reliable

[UALRBSofL]

36. I heard that too

Why would Obama supporters stoop so low

[still_one]

39. They supplied an LA Times line. Where is your link? /nt

[gaiilonfong]

17. Billary= Wolfson =Rove= ReTHUglican-lite

not surprised here.

I can't wait till the ClintonSSSSS are done with in the party.

[ugdude]

30. How sickening, taking down Obama signs? They will do anything to coronate their queen

[DainBramaged]

32. Wow, lot of posts in 9 hours

Who do you support for the President of the United States, an old, grumpy, and balding guy, or one of our DEMOCRATIC candidates?

[frogcycle]

35. get over it

Obama people took down Biden signs in Iowa

[robcon]

4. Oh NO!!! Push polls by a politician!!!!!

Oh, the humanity! :sarcasm:

[Windy]

27. As she is going down in the polls, it will get worse. They want the whitehouse back

they can't believe they're getting challenged.

[Submariner]

5. Billary is a power hungry political animal

She will try and shred Obama in her quest for the White House.

[DainBramaged]

11. Just like power-hungry opponents?

And Obama supporters? Rabid dogs all.

[ugdude]

6. Read the replies...

Notice how Hillary supporters always justify their candidates behaviour by saying:
"well, if you think that's dirty, just wait till the republicans come after you" as if there is no distinction between them and the republicans. As if we should move on because they have decided to act like republicans.

How sickening. No wonder they always insult us about hope, they are in the mud trying to pull us down.

JUST BECAUSE A REPUBLICAN ACTS BADLY DOESNT MEAN WE HAVE TO DEGRADE OUR OWN PARTY TO ACT BADLY. HRC needs to understand that.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

21. They are the same people who think being bullied "toughens a kid up"

Idiots.

[MonkeyFunk]

7. It doesn't say the campaign refused to comment

it says they hadn't heard back from an email sent 12 hours earlier.

[flyarm]

9. ahhhh..so sad..she did robo calls on Edwards..and now you want sympathy?

nope you are not getting it from me!!

fly

[Thrill]

10. Its called Panic

[DainBramaged]

13. It's called rumors.

[Thrill]

14. I don't see her Campaign calling it BS

[DainBramaged]

15. First grade math, how many hours ago were they asked to reply?

Have they replied yet/ Who is the person who reported the "poll"?

Logic, intelligence, and investigation, something sorely lacking on DU lately.

[Thrill]

19. Shouldn' t take that long if it simply isn't true

[DainBramaged]

25. Yeah, why don't you just call them yourself you are so concerned?

I'll wait. You can be the truth seeker for DU. Oh, and post the phone numbers so we can all call and say hi!

:smoke:

[Thrill]

28. Truth Hurts huh.....The sound you hear

is the Panic button being pushed by the Clinton Camp. ouch

[DainBramaged]

31. No the sound I hear is the X being clicked under your name

Bye bye, was so much fun playing. Have a fun day undermining our DEMOCRATIC candidates. Did you get that, DEMOCRATIC candidates..

[Submariner]

16. Billary was for the Iraq war, before she was against it

She showed poor judgment following Dumbya down that path.

She needs to use Rovian attacks to blunt that image of her losing that argument to Obama at the last debate.

[ugdude]

20. So true n/t

[DainBramaged]

22. I showed poor judgement continuing to read your attacks on her

But I fixed that problem a moment ago.
So much hatred on DU. So many lies. So many unsubstantiated attacks on OUR candidates.

What will you do if, never mind, I won't see it.

[TexasObserver]

Dupe

duplicate

how does that happen?

[DainBramaged]

26. Proof please!

And I have been to every state in the Union too, at least twice, and I saw her making calls too! On the phone!
:sarcasm:

[TexasObserver]

23. They've done it in every state. Nothing new there.

This is why it is so hard to let pass the Rovian methods of the Clinton campaign. They just keep doing anything they think will give an edge. Cheating is part of their playbook, and it's the reason half of all Democrats are turned off by their excesses.

[monarch]

29. Probably the same bs we got out of SC

where callers identify themselves as being for Hillary before saying something despicable. Do you REALLY think that she is dumb enough to do such stuff. It is Obama who seems to be taking a page from Rove's playbook.

[OmahaBlueDog]

33. And you're 100% certain this is not a GOP dirty trick, how?

Answer: you're not.

[DainBramaged]

34. They won't answer, nor will they admit you are right

The same MO every day. Start flame throwing threads, hope for high read counts, report to the commissioner, mission acomplished.

Just sucks.:wtf:

[Colobo]

37. She's desperate. Obama should counter hard.

[still_one]

40. The only thing Obama needs to do is expose it /nt

[still_one]

41. The Clinton campaign should comment. If true this will hurt them /nt

[ugdude]

44. Its no use

No matter how many things are revealed about her, her supporters will overlook it and tell Obama supporters that its okay for Democratic nominees to use republican tactics.

How disgusting.

[still_one]

48. If it is true, they cannot comment until after the election, because they know

it would hurt them more

Of course they never should have done it in the first place

[Thrill]

46. Another Hour and Still No Comment. Love those dirty politics

[Joe the Revelator]

47. The say anything, do anything candidate is going into desperation mode...

how sweet.
