The GOPs private internal polls must not look anything like M$M polls. If they did then...
why on earth would so many Republicans running for re-election be planning to skip their own convention so as not to be seen with the party or McCain?

Care to guess what THEIR PRIVATE POLLS must be telling them?

4. Exactly....if the corpmedia polls were accurate, there would be no way GOPs would be seen
running away from the party and the nominee. No way.

2. Their brand is dog food
Chinese dog food with the melamine added. Time to pull it off the shelves and offer a settlement before they get sued for more.

8. How soon people forget. THAT is why the corpmedia gets away with their BS. Even Dems who claim to be
smarter and immune to commercial interference are cowed by what they hear from the fascist mouthpieces.

5. A party's internal poll numbers are the ones they really use to make their campaign decisions.
Looks to me like there is a landslide....a landslide of GOPs running away from their own convention.

6. I think there's a link between the current polls and
the fact that the convention is coming up. The media needs there to be a very close horse race in order to keep people watching. They're going to be using a lot of airtime and selling a lot of commercials during the convention. Just sayin.....

13. That's one minor aspect, imo. I think they're trying to pressure Obama into making a huge mistake
by trying to make him doubt he can win without the Clintons.

14. Yes, you're right.
I do think they need a tight race for ratings, but mostly they want Hillary on the ticket because she will inspire a hate-fest of right wingers clamoring to get to the voting booths in November. We should never forget who owns the media and which side they want to win.

7. Norm Coleman said even he wouldn't go if the Convention hadn't been in Minnesota
He thinks McCain is screwing him.

He deserves it.

12. Well, Franken is discovering that it's easier to comment on the way others campaign than it is to
be on the trail doing the campaigning for yourself.
