that the expression “monkey-fuck ridiculous” has moved a little closer to mainstream usage.
Not bad numbers for Sink at all.
The Iowa poll didn’t surprise me. I am waiting to see something new from Selzer or SUSA or R2K.
Or is Rasmussen really still persisting in calling Marco Rubio “Marcus” in its question wording? It may be close to meaningless, but it’s little details like this that should gradually eat away at Rasmussen’s overall mainstream credibility. One time is forgivable, yet when it happens repeatedly, people need to ask if its the result of either willful ignorance or deliberate intent… though as to what that intent might be I’ll not even venture to guess. (Okay, I will… maybe Scotty doesn’t quite understand what the “Latin vote” means exactly?)
latest Senate race rankings, I’m happier about California after he wrote this:
Since those California polls were taken the day AFTER our June 8th primaries, where Whitman and Fiorina won contested primaries, while Brown and Boxer basically sailed on through against very minor opposition (plus an asshole in Mickey Kaus), that Rasmussen couldn’t show either Republican ahead even with his primary bounce effect seems to be good news for us Californians. Especially Boxer.
actually endorsed the Democrat, Vincent Sheheen, against Nikki Haley! That surprised me at first, until I read the reason why: because she’s considered Mark Sanford’s protégé.
Interesting. I hadn’t thought about how the local Chambers of Commerce in various states might think about their Republican Governor grandstanding and refusing stimulus money (i.e., Jindal, Sanford, Perry). Any word if the Texas Chamber of Commerce feels similarly about Rick Perry?
The Rasmussen poll above was taken just after the runoff, showing the typical post primary bounce that a candidate receives (Creigh Deeds for example, we all know what happened to him). However, SurveyUSA came out with a poll on NC-Sen after the runoff showing Burr with a 10 point lead (50-40) over Marshall.
So my question is, who was ‘monkey-fuck’ ridiculous more between those two pollsters?
Even Ras can’t make Rick Perry look good.
FROM A REPUTABLE POLLSTER!!!!!
Strickland- 43%
Kasich- 38%
No word on the Senate yet.

Not good for Russ: http://publicpolicypolling.blo…
I don’t think opposing the Wall Street reform bill helps him. “Principle” goes only so far. He didn’t love the health care bill, either, but embraced the politics of the possible. He complains the bill won’t stop another financial meltdown, but he fails either to explain how no bill stops one, or to promise to whip 60 votes for whatever fantasy bill he has in mind. And, of course, his opposition isn’t just on the final up-or-down vote, it extends to cloture. So he’s committed to naked obstructionism.
Unless Russ is playing a real game of insider chess and has a plan to shape the bill more to his liking and still get 60 votes, I’m losing a lot of respect for him on this one. He’s going to have a hard time defending this.
I hope Russ has lots and lots of money for TV ads.
How come he is so close to Feingold. Did he have some spectacularly favorable news coverage recently?
Reid isn’t losing to Angle, unless the CNN and MSNBC polls are doing something really wrong.
However, the SD-AL poll is very alarming. I didn’t think Herseth was in any sort of trouble, and now she’s getting beat like she stole something. What happened?
I still can’t believe the Research 2000 story. They really did a number on Kos if they were fabricating their results. I believe a good part of his new book was based on the results from their polls.
