that’s why we’re so glad McCain’s finally taken the gloves off. Listen, a lot of people will be tuning in for the debate tomorrow night.

I thought McCain “suspended” his campaign to create a viewership for the Friday night debate with Obama; and he did get more viewers than the BUSH/KERRY Friday night debate in 04. But each step he has taken has been calculated to build support. Folks we were clammering last week for Freddie/Fanny, but he couldn’t until after the Bill was passed and signed: See Nancy Pilosi here!

Now that it has been signed, notice Palin didn’t go there on Thursday when 70 million watched. But tomrrow just like McCain’s speech at the Convention was watched by more people, that debate will be watched by more people. This is McCain’s chance to get Obama in a Townhall setting and hopefully tear him a new one.

The old dog has a few tricks up his sleeve. If he can do half as well at the debate as he did in the speech, look out.

I looked at a couple of polls; PA you’re a poll guy, so look as well. It seems McCain has been losing Republican support if you dig deep in the internals; hello, he can get that back!

So do be in denial; instead, be engaged and enraged until NOV 5th, or we will say hello Pres Obama in Jan!

Given that the polls are biased most probably, and contain inaccuracies, one can still say that they indicate a trend to Big Brobama.

We have gone through endless reasons why: fatigue with Republicans/W, believing the lies of Big Brobama because of media bias, younger voters voting for the younger and more telegenic man, etc. etc. etc.

So what is McCain supposed to do with the information from such polls? How does he handle a poll saying that Obama can handle the economy better than he can, despite all evidence to the contrary?

Or that people believe in Big Brobama’s class warfare agitprop?

Too often we have seen McCain follow the poll and become more like Big Brobama: fire the head of the SEC, blame Wall Street greed, more regulation instead of less but BETTER regulation, etc.

Incredibly, he then does something NOT indicated by the polls and by constituent outrage: voting for the “bail-out” which as predicted has not calmed things down in the financial markets!

Ignore the polls at your peril indeed!

But beware of the illogicalities indicated by polls: as mentioned many times, polls show the DEM Congress with a 9% approval rating. They say 60% of Americans think random people picked from a phone book could do at least as well as, if not better than, the DEM Congress.

So how does one proceed?

but feel free to dump on my diary all you want! Very big of you to do so with your own instead of dirtying mine up..

I have changed quite a few minds this election with the type of information I have provided on the bias in polls and how they will become clearer within 2 weeks because the lying pollsters want to gain some credibility.

I however do not JUST bring up the lying polls, I show people media bias as well and again have changed minds though I must admit the MSM media is making it easy because they don’t even hide their bias anylonger….as a foot soldier in this Presidential battle I will continue to USE whatever I find relevent and you can do the same.

Dext time you’re driving through your neighborhood…start looking for McCain signs….Try looking for McCain bumper stickers when you’re stuck in traffic…or look for them when you are passing traffic or on cars that are passing you…

Not many around huh? I live in TX and we were poluted with Buch/Cheney bumper stickers and yard signs in 2000 and 2008. Didn’t see many Dole Kemp stickers or signs in 1996 though there were several in the church parking lot. I don’t see any McCain bumper stickers in church either.

This congress and this party has done more to destroy this party and squandered more opportunities in the last 4 years than in the last 70 years combined…I’m embarrassed to call myself a Republican any more…

Not dismissed, but properly discounted.

In light of your diary here, I would amend a statement I have made to “The only poll that counts is the one on November 4, but all the other polls are important and you dismiss them at your peril.”

You will admit that the poll taken on Nov. 4 is the only one that will result in the award of elective office. This is the poll we must focus our energies on winning.

We already know the game is rigged. BigMedia is manufacturing their own news complete with polls and ObamAcorn is manufacturing their own votes. The BigMedia polls that will be/are/have been taken and blasted at us ad nauseum, are to serve the purpose of discouraging Republicans from going to the polls while simultaneously measuring the results of same for the Democrats and BigMedia. In that respect they are instructive but suspect as predictive. The narrative surrounding this is exetremely important and needs maximum exposure but actual poll results have limited utility to Republicans due to congenital defects.

Voter turnout will be critical to either candidate in winning the upcoming election and it is that which moves polls and voter butts from divan to polling booth that needs amplification.

Since we have opted not to manufacture our own votes, (I understand it’s a felony), it is imperative that the Republican message is enunciated loudly and clearly.

Obama this and Obama that will dither daily poll results, but will not move those butts to vote without being buttressed by the Republican message of who we are and the values and principles we stand for. It is that message that differentiates us from the Democrats. We must be careful not to drown that message out in a frenzy to move polls that don’t count.

The poll I would like to see:

Have you voted in the last three elections? Yes/no

Will you be voting in the upcoming election? Yes/no

Will you be voting Republican? Yes/no

Really? Yes/no

Important Notice:

As the Democrats are the home team this election cycle, Republicans will vote first on November 4 with Democrats voting last on Nov. 5.

Thank you for your cooperation,

The Commissioner
