Dude, you're like one of three Republicans left in this state.

And it's just you three that come here to make those brilliant comments that you do on the actual N&O articles since they're mainly about incumbents, and those are mainly Democrats. The rest of us just come here to make fun of you.

Now you know.

Don't let the door hit ya where Linda Daves split ya!

Thanks Gosh. I actually do know how it all works but I appreciate your attention. As for flailing and gnashing, I do gnash on occasion but I've never flailed. How come so many folks are compelled lately to comment on my comments? I don't mind at all, but I thought folks came here to discuss the N&O articles, not the readers making the comments. ...... whatever.

Richard Burr is a pedophile, a space alien and a serial killer?

Gosh — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 19:00:20 -0500

Did the poll say that Richard Burr is a pedophile, a space alien and a serial killer?

No Floyd. You'd be the very first to say that "Richard Burr is a pedophile, a space alien and a serial killer" in public.

It's obvious you don't know how independent pollsters work no matter who hires them.

Do you know how Google works?

For example, when you say "Richard Burr is a pedophile, a space alien and a serial killer," all those people searching for "Richard Burr" along with "pedophile" now get your public flailing of limbs and gnashing of teeth you call a post, and see how truly weak Dick Burr is as an incumbent.

Have a nice day.

I don't know how you stand it

James_Protzman — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 18:05:56 -0500

and I hereby apologize to you and every other person working at the N&O for anything I've ever said that was mean-spirited, unkind, obnoxious or whatever.

The stuff you guys put up out here in the blogosphere with would drive me to drink, and I'm a born again teetotaler.

Please forward my apologies to all concerned.

What's your specific complaint about this poll?

First, as a scientific poll, this is definitely NOT, which means the numbers generated are worthless. So what we have left is a Democrat driven suggestion that either Cooper or Moore should run against the incumbent Republican candidate.

What a waste of newspaper.

And closing fast. The shine is off the Messaiah, and people don't like the wimpy pouty guy behind the curtain. Hill's got real courage and fight. By contrast, Obama's late and feeble handling of the Wright issue utterly looks like exactly what wright said: Obama making political decisions after working out the spin with axelrod. Its painfully obvious: Wright keeps saying the same things -- for 20 years, on the tapes Obama took to Harvard to study him, in the clips last month and this weekend. Obama just now, when it's hurting him big time while he's already tanking, decides to divorce him. Oh, sure, that's a principled stand on the issue. He used Wright to build a political constituency in Chicago, then was afraid to dump him in March cuz he needed the black vote, now that he's tanking with whites -- whoops, under the weels you go, jeremiah.
Speaking of which, what has he done to deserve the black vote besides being black? He doesn't go to important events, doesn't campaign in black neighborhoods, doesn't support black press with ad money.

(Yes we can? Huh uh, no you won't .... because HE DIDN'T):

Obama supporters, hold onto that HOPE Obama's selling because that's all he's GOT when it comes to getting those CHANGES Made.

Obama claims 7 years experience in the Illinois legislature - Working Across the Aisles, Bringing people together to get good CHANGES passed -as exemplified by 26 good bills with his name on them.

A Chicago reporter says all 26 bills were passed in ONE Year.

http://wweek.com/editorial/3418/10516/

EXCERPTS:
But what’s interesting, and almost never discussed, is that he built his entire legislative record in Illinois in a single year.

Republicans controlled the Illinois General Assembly for six years of Obama’s seven-year tenure.

Then Emil Jones Jr. (became the Senate Majority leader), He became Obama’s kingmaker.

Jones appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.

During his seventh year in the state Senate, Obama ... sponsored a whopping 26 bills including many he now cites in his presidential campaign when attacked as inexperienced.

Working Across the Aisles/ Making CHANGES = ZILCH

Taking Credit for Other People's Work/ INTEGRITY = ZERO
HONESTY = ZERO

What is really happening in North Carolina?

CURRENT ARTICLE

What’s really going on in No. Carolina
By SusanUnPC on May 1, 2008 at 10:54 AM in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, North Carolina, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Soldiers/Veterans
___________________

THE HARD FACTS: REV. WRIGHT is a huge problem for Barack Obama in the state of North Carolina, which votes Tuesday. People know that repudiations don’t count for much when Obama sat in his pews for 20 years, and that Rev. Wright married him, baptized his children, and “blessed” his $1.6M mansion. People know the repudiation was poll-driven. People know the repudiation was “politically expedient.”
News & Observer: The North Carolina race is tightening, with Obama’s struggles in distancing himself from Wright “apparently eroding his once formidable lead.”

NOW, here’s the word from two Hillary Clinton supporters, one a soldier at Ft. Bragg, the other a ’round-the-clock grassroots volunteer in North Carolina — as well as Gov. Mike Easley’s new TV ad for Hillary:

This Ft. Bragg soldier’s blog headline?

This blog belongs to a Soldier 4 Hillary.

She writes:
“[S]o many people have crossed the line. More concerned with just “winning” … just thinking about the moment. Not realizing that this is bigger than what I want and need or you may want and need. But our needs as a whole.

Yes change is coming. Because this primary, here, in North Carolina, will go to Senator Clinton. Because we intend to support the candidate, who supports us.

Now, from the grassroots 18/7 volunteer in North Carolina, and the Easley ad:

I’m on the ground in Charlotte. Our Honk 4 Hillary events draw over 15 people, and we elicit honks from virtually everyone who passes us. White women and white undeclared voters in the Republican precincts of south Charlotte have flocked to Clinton. And I hear the rurals are Clinton Country. According to one staffer with whom I am in contact, Clinton will close in on Obama from Asheville and from the vote east of I-95. And then she will cut into his margins in the Research Triange.

But isn't the error that only Democratic voters were sampled? In the previous post about unaffiliated and GOPers who switched for the primary...who is counting them?

Re: Daily Kos polls Senate race

N&O should look for a non-partisan firm to do their polling. There are a lot out there and Research 2000 now has the Kos taint.
