California Election Turns Highly Competitive (Rasmussen)

[struggle4progress]

(Angus Reid Global Scan) – There is no clear favourite in the Golden State’s gubernatorial ballot, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports. 45 per cent of respondents would vote for Democratic state treasurer Phil Angelides, while 44 per cent would support Republican incumbent Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In an election pitting Schwarzenegger against state controller Steve Westly, the Democrat also holds a one-point edge. The Democratic nomination will be decided in a primary ballot on Jun. 6. <snip>

3. a little trivia: the governer's mansion is a museum- Arnold lives in a

hotel in Sacramento when he's doing his governing. and the taxpayers pay for it.

4. I'm afraid you're right. Ahnold is extremely

unpopular. No way is he at 44% or would a legitimate election be close. When they got rid of our Dem Sec of State Shelley and replaced him with a repuke, they were doing nothing more than settting the stage for some big-time election fraud.

5. You are exactly right

10. Thanks for the heads up, flyarm! We know that the war profiteering

corporate news monopoly exit polls are not to be trusted. (They fiddled them on election night 2004, to make them FIT the results of Diebold's and ES&S's secret vote tabulation software.) So why should we trust their pre-election polls? It's a scam.

If the fascists wanted to have an honest, transparent election, we would not have Diebold and ES&S counting all the votes with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code. A no brainer, it seems to me. Neither the fascists nor their lapdog press wants a transparent election. So they set it up to make it look like Schwarzenegger could win. They did the same thing with Bush.

Enough is enough!

Throw Diebold and ES&S election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW! (--or the Pacific Ocean will do!)

11. The only way they can steal an election is if it's "close"

GOP election theft is so wide-scale, across the whole country, so overwhelming in scale that people who blow the whistle are labeled conspiracy whackos. Its unimaginable to the general public the scale of the fraud.


The Coup of 2000 marches on without resistance.

13. look at the latinos in the street today in LA..and look at the frigging

numbers..i have watched from here in fla..the msnbc talking mouth has repeated the same number all frigging day..25,000..well i lived in la for many years and i know where that protest is taking place and i know those streets..and from what i am Katrine harris to be in the senate contest because they know they will not be able to fudge the numvbers..she is a laughing stock..and they can't say its close..

now does anyone believe with the protests in calif those people will be voting for arnuld??

please..please calif get independent polling done..and then get the results on your airways! now..do not let them set this up..because thats what they are doing right now setting it up to look like it will be close..stop it now!!

or you will be the new Fla!

8. Time for LTTEs calling them on their lies

and tying them to the SOS ouster.. That was too convenient by half..

I would guess Ahhhnold's popularity at 30% TOPS.. Of course the wild card here is that Angelides and the "other guy" are not household names...

Some people are reallllly stooooopid, and will probably vote for him again..
