The Presidential Planner

Hey, Fascist Hyena, you didn’t answer Ryan C’s question: “So is the Fordham study which uses a final for the 2008 election of 52 to 46 when the actual result was 53 to 46 legitimate?”

I would also ask how the Fordham accuracy rankings could be legitimate when they’re based on a 6.15 point win for Obama, instead of the official 7.28 points.

"Yes the website pushing that garbage is a right wing website."

Another messenger shot; another message to frightening to address.

"Anonymous reports from right winger that has scary black men are knocking on your door.

Agreed. Obvious stuff . . . they're so eager to try to find something along these lines - and they've found so little.

"The messenger, though anonymous, must be a right-winger"

Yes the website pushing that garbage is a right wing website.

"Anonymous reports from right winger..."

The messenger, though anonymous, must be a right-winger because his message is unpleasant. And of course he must be shot, and his message avoided at all costs.

A very sobering message for conservatives and Republicans from the New York Times:

"A string of defections by prominent Republicans who endorsed Democratic candidates, the biggest in decades, has exposed an ideological rupture in the Republican Party and demonstrated how difficult it has become for the major parties to enforce discipline.

"While it is not clear how much effect the endorsements will have on this year's state and Federal races, the fissure exposed by the desertions points to trouble ahead for Republicans. . . .

"If the campaign events are any indication, even if the Republicans make major gains next Tuesday, the party may have a hard time smoothing over differences between its conservative and moderate wings. . . .
Not since the nomination of Barry Goldwater in 1964 sent many Republicans scurrying to rally around Lyndon B. Johnson have so many prominent party members bitterly turned on the party's candidates. And that was in a Presidential contest. Just as in 1964, they are shifting in one direction: away from conservative Republicans.
'They're frightened about the movement of their party to a 'ore right-wing conservative agenda," said Fred Steeper, a Republican pollster in Detroit.

"Although most experts agree that one person's endorsement does not usually sway voters in numbers large enough to turn around an election immediately, candidates can seize on such events to show that things are turning their way. That seems to be happening in the closing days of the campaign, with Democrats using the endorsements as a sign of movement for their candidates."

The sobering message was published on November 1, 1994.

"How would you like to be a New Jersey police officer and look out your window and see several known criminals, including a man you arrested several weeks ago and another who had just been released from prison for shooting a cop?"

Anonymous reports from right winger that has scary black men are knocking on your door.

Ashley Todd race baiting stuff is so 2008.

Not to worry--they'll handle your healthcare decisions just fine:

"Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is directly to blame for taxpayers' loss of $2.3 billion in the CIT bailout, says professor William Black of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law and a former federal bank regulator.

"We put ourselves on the hook in a completely inept way where we lose first. We lose entirely as the taxpayers."

"Black specifically faults Geithner for negotiating an arrangement in which CIT can repay its senior creditors 70 cents on the dollar in bankruptcy, but taxpayers are completely left out in the cold for their investment.

"When Geithner pumped taxpayers' money into CIT this summer, "it's like he burned billions of dollars again in government money, our money, gratuitously," Black said."

Democracy, New Jersey Democrat style:

"How would you like to be a New Jersey police officer and look out your window and see several known criminals, including a man you arrested several weeks ago and another who had just been released from prison for shooting a cop? And then find out that the men were sent into the neighborhood by the Democratic Party for GOTV operations - complete with lists of voters names, addresses and phones numbers."

"IOW she's a wingnut from Europe."

Another messenger shot; another issue avoided.

"And yet RCP includes them in their average.

"You eliminate them leaving you an average of only two polls."

And...?

BTW fascist you really should give Hot Air credit when posting their stuff here.

"Eline van den Broek is the founder of the European Independent Institute, the only independent free market think tank in the Netherlands"

IOW she's a wingnut from Europe.

So is the Fordham study which uses a final for the 2008 election of 52 to 46 when the actual result was 53 to 46 legitimate?

As Barack Obama and the Democrats attempt to remake the American health-care system into the European model, a European economist warns the US that they have fundamentally misunderstood the lessons of EuroCare. Universal coverage is not the same thing as universal care, Elina van den Broek instructs, and that the only equality we can expect is equally long wait times and equally unresponsive providers.

"Four of those polls are of "adults." I posted the average of the two polls that only include voters. Readers are encouraged to go to the RCP site and see for themselves."

And yet RCP includes them in their average.

You eliminate them leaving you an average of only two polls.

"You have assumed a fact that is not in evidence."

So you think the final tally for 2008 election between Obama and McCain was 52 to 46 as the Fordham study says and NOT 53 to 46 that the actual results were(or even 52 to 45 assuming no rounding up)?

Is that what you are saying?

"And the study speaks for itself and not otherwise."

Yeah its a poor study done before all the return were in.

The study rounded up McCain's figure of 45.6% to 46% YET rounded down Obama;s total from 52.9 to 52%.

Now do you think that is legitimate or not?

"Actual RCP poll compilation includes 6 polls taken in the last 2 weeks has Obama approval at 51.1%."

Four of those polls are of "adults." I posted the average of the two polls that only include voters. Readers are encouraged to go to the RCP site and see for themselves.

WASHINGTON – The health care bill headed for a vote in the House this week costs $1.2 trillion or more over a decade, according to numerous Democratic officials and figures contained in an analysis by congressional budget experts, far higher than the $900 billion cited by President Barack Obama as a price tag for his reform plan.

While the Congressional Budget Office has put the cost of expanding coverage in the legislation at roughly $1 trillion, Democrats added billions more on higher spending for public health, a reinsurance program to hold down retiree health costs, payments for preventive services and more.

When will Barry fit in his basketball, golf and drinking?
