New PPP poll is a trick to convince Akin to stay in the race

By: A_Texan (Diary)  |  August 21st, 2012 at 08:57 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Last night, the Democratic pollster, PPP, quickly did a poll to seek how Akin was polling vis-a-vis McCaskill.  Woah–still ahead.

I said to myself–there must be something fishy about this poll.

“Number-Cruncher” via Campaignspot confirms: PPP used a biased GOP +9 sample to get the result.

    Well if you went from plus 11 to plus 1 that would not be a good sign anayway. He has consultants that see the PLUS 9 GOP…they know it is not real either…Plus his unfavorable is near 60 percent with Plus 9 sample for Reps. That means it is even worse!!

    The GOP must run an Independent against this man. Just defund him…he has to raise money…CUT HIM OFF TOTALLY!! Take the money and back Brunner or Steelman as Independents. They could switch to R once sworn in!! But there is not a chance this man can win and it is obvious from his silly ad this morning he is going to stay in. WHAT A SELFISH MAN!!

    We cannot be victim to a another moron!! This is too darn important…the longer the GOP does not act the worse this is going to get!

    That’s how an honest poll would look.

    “@PPPPolls finds Akin ahead by one in MO in R+9 poll sample. In late May, their sample was D+2. http://bit.ly/O10MrD”

    He was up 11 in Survey USA, and recalirating the R+9 poll would put him down 9 point.

    Even this poll has his unfav/fav at 28/58 etc.

    For the good of the country and party, he should pull out.

    It’s quite telling.

    http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/314573/nrsc-hey-look-what-folks-are-saying-about-akin

    Radio/TV Host Sean Hannity urged Akin yesterday to reconsider running and reminded him that ?elections are bigger than one person?
    Radio Host Mark Levin similarly urged Akin to step aside saying this race is far too important to risk losing to the Democrats.
    National Review?s Jim Geraghty observes, Who Isn?t Calling for Akin?s Withdrawal? Claire McCaskill & Planned Parenthood.
    Columnist/Radio Host Dennis Prager penned a column for Townhall.com calling on his fellow pro-life leaders to join him in disavowing Akin?s remarks.
    Columnist Charles Krauthammer on Fox News last night called Akin ?toxic? and said ?he?s got to go?
    Radio Host Hugh Hewitt tweeted ? ?If Akin drops out and GOP wins Senate, he has career. If he stays in and GOP doesn?t win Senate, infamy and injury to prolife cause?
    Author Ann Coulter penned a column in Human Events calling on Akin to do the right thing and step aside for the good of the pro-life movement
    National Review editorial board called on Akin to step aside, writing in part, ?Akin is a stalwart conservative and an honorable man, we regret to say that he inspires no such confidence?
    Wall Street Journal editorial board also called on Akin to step aside, writing in part, ?Having uttered one of the more offensive and ill-informed comments in recent years, Mr. Akin could cost his party a seat it is favored to win this November and thus possible control of the Senate.?
    The Tea Party Express called on Akin to step aside saying ?It is critical that we defeat Senator Claire McCaskill in November, but it will be too difficult to achieve that with Todd Akin as the conservative alternative.?

    This is just sad and truly unbelievable. I cannot believe the GOP is utterly useless here. I am amazed a major election advantage is beinf squandered away by one man and we are all hostage. I remember some Moron in here telling people to vote for Mr. Akin…welll I hope you are happy…there is not a Chinaman’s Chance in heck that he will win….there is no doubt he will hurt the GOP in MO and elsewhere….Mitt will have to look now harder at MO and all because no one told him GET OUT OR ELSE…you see the GOP has not strong people behind the scenes.

    We all know what is going to happen…this will haunt us on election day just like John Roberts haunts us on Obamacare. Again, Conservatives will never learn to get behind one candidate and run with it. No we had to have 3 in MO and basically we get a loser with 35 percent of the vote now controlling the destiny of the US SENATE and possibly the MO Presidential Race.

    Conservatives are a majority that live in the Minority…we are governed by Liberals who are a minority, we live in now in a Socialist America and it gets worse every day. But the BEST WE CAN DO IS A GUY LIKE AKIN!! Again Conservatives have been beaten again by their STUPIDITY!!

    Lets face it we know Akin is staying in…on election night we will hear all night how a sure seat in MO fell into the hands of the DEMs again because a FATALLY FLAWED REP….and then we will here from PUNDITS how we need to put up a fight and try to do what we can to fight Obama…and other BS!!

    A Majority ruled by a Minority is conservatives fate. They just will not grow up and stand behind one….We have three and always the worst wins for the most part and then we get stuck with a loser and of course they LOSE!

    We come to sites like RedState and complain but it matters little except to vent. We see America slipping away every day…our Liberty is under assault, capitalism under attack and freedom disappearing. The Liberals unite we divide….they rule…we are ruled…Until conservatives stop infighting we will be ruled. Obamacare to me looks like it is here to stay..

    No conservative will ever step aside for the good of the country. They always think they are bigger than reality…DOES IT EVER WORK? So here goes another election with so much hope hit because of one man’s pride.

    Fatalistic yes because we have seen this played out over and over and we have NEVER WON ONCE!! We always end up short and behind and RULED!!

    Sad when conservatives have the majority but are ruled by the minority!
