The Democratic leadership throws money at all Democratic incumbents in order to maintain their majority, irregardless of politics or competency.<BR/><BR/>What an interesting picture you paint, inside dope, of professional pollsters and campaign consultants cheerfully charging top dollar to a doomed campaign with huge negatives among likely primary voters and whose only positives are supposed funding accomplishments which disappeared in a puff of smoke when the governor's budget was released, composing poll questions with obvious answers whose mere recitation by the pollster actually reinforce in the mind of the pollees, carefully chosen likely primary voters, the very negatives the pollster tells the candidate he is measuring.Dave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-1140350966880182442006-02-19T06:09:00.000-06:002006-02-19T06:09:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Dave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-1140312662490157872006-02-18T19:31:00.000-06:002006-02-18T19:31:00.000-06:00It always amazes me.

There's no end to the paranoia and gullibility of some politicians, and when they have tons of cash, you can charge them up the wazoo for endless polls to supposedly sooth their fevered brows.<BR/><BR/>Why in the world would you need to pay thousands for a poll asking if saying idiotic things was a negative?<BR/><BR/>It's amazing but the Jacobs supporters are trying to say that polling shows that his employing a masseuse for research is going over great with voters... that it's a big plus for the senator.<BR/><BR/>The fact is, they'll say and do anything, and I don't know why they waste money on polls, as any half-wit could tell you what is good and what's bad. I mean, what are they trying to figure out, whether more bone-head comments and more blustery empty boasting is the way to go?The Inside Dopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808639019066597340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-1140020897615842392006-02-15T10:28:00.000-06:002006-02-15T10:28:00.000-06:00Senator Jacobs deserves our admiration and respect...Senator Jacobs deserves our admiration and respect.
