What the hell is the deal with MSNBC pumping these Mason Dixen Polls? |
|
Why are they thumping these Mason Dixen Polls? They say McCain is leading in Fl? And, they only have Obama up 4% in PA?
They aren't talking about ANY other polls. They are saying that McCain could still win & the undecideds could 'break' for McCain. No other reference to any other poll. Just on & on & on with these numbers.
Now, I know that that is BS, the only thing that has me worried is that they could use this bogus info as cover for a stolen election?
I guess my question is this --- How secure is PA vote?

26. She was awful yesterday usually I think she is OK |
|
I knew she leaned conservative but she really showed her true colors yesterday.
uppity, overly arrogant she is just using those flags
Bill Burton is one and knows we have the ground game.
Norah is pretty but its quite apparent where she leans.

3. They are trying to keep ratings up... |
|
What if they put on an election special and no one watched?? If this things ends with the 10 point spread that many of the polls are predicting people will turn off half way through the night! Got to keep the ad rates up. This is business -- not news!

So of course they'll show bias to tout their own horn.

7. TV news is commercially driven, folks. They have financial ties to the poll. |

Except for PBS.
They want viewers. They want ratings. They will hype drama .

9. Front page story on MSNBC.COM: "John McCain still has a shot" |
|
It's an AP story pushing their online poll results of "1 in 7 voters isn't fully committed."
This is insanity, but it will be over in a few days.

It's just part of schizoid GEM$NBC schtick. They have their Repuke Whores on when they think most Voters are watching during daytime hours, even though the ratings of the evening shows are better...those viewers might not be guaranteed to vote.

15. I was wondering the same thing. They're trying to make it look like McCain is going to win. |
|
And now this dude is saying if we don't win Ohio we're going to lose.

20. They are their polls and when they come out that is all they talk about for days. It happens |
|
every time and their polls have a slight R tilt. Hopefully, it will just keep Dems working hard. Also - don't watch it. It is annoying as hell when they do this and ignore all other polling.

21. I still wouldn't put it past them to try and steal Ohio & Florida...That is their plan, in fact |
|
Then, they need PA to be their trifecta.
I don't think it will work, but I won't be surprised, if they try it.
I am not counting on anything. If they do try & steal it, I will be protesting with all my heart.
