Peter Hart's Focus Group on C-Span was confusing to me......and I thought

[KoKo]

that the folks who showed up after Hart identified them were very "jaded." It wasn't until the very end when Hart asked about the "Deficit" that many of their "Anti-Iraq Invasion" sympathies came out.

My impression was that Hart didn't ask questions designed for "Media Savy" I felt Hart was asking questions that fit better in the decades including and before the '90's than today with people who are very "reticent' to give any honest evaluation of their feelings.

I also thought towards the end of the segment that those folks were MUCH MORE SAVY than they were willing to impart to Hart in his "Focus Group." In the end they knew exactly who Clark was, although they kind of dissed him when the pix of candidates were put up.


Also they were much more anti-war than was revealed in the beginning where they never one said that Dean was the "Anti_Iraq Invasion Candidate."

I saw this interview later than other DU'ers, but I wasn't as angry as you all. I saw undercurrents in this whole Focus Group.....!

1. If you were "confused" you understood it.

If you understood it, you should be afraid.

2. I know I'm late to the party on this one, but didn't have chance to watch

before this afternoon. I saw headlines from DU'ers who were very disappointed in the group's intelligence, but I wanted to see for myself...and while there are questions....these really are Americans and so their confusion is apparent since they have to listen to the "Whore Media" the same as we do, but don't have the time or dedication some of us have to really know all the issues.

I still say: Hart's questions were geared to "another time." Not the folks of today.

3. I don't understand why your other thread was locked

It didn't make sense. It wasn't a flame thread, and the dupe rule doesn't apply to this forum.

4. Mods must have thought I was attacking Dems..no explanation so I really

can't answer you.

It was a post in frustration. I expect this post and thread will be locked for same reason. I don't have another answer. sorry....
