1. Sweet! I would say the 5% represent Hamsher's "firebaggers" but...

I'm not so sure they are Dems.

2. Democratic Party Purity Test = We believe only positive spin by the M$M polls on

our leaders. :crazy:

4. Not asking for purity...

only honesty...and sanity.

[jefferson_dem]

7. Yes, in at least one instance...

Only 2 out of 4 for me. :hi:

8. well

I was counting white southern men over 60 as one group and Republicans as the other.

9. I woke up this a.m. to a "57% eager to vote for GOP candidate" poll by Gallup.

and 37% "very enthustiastic" to vote for a Dem candidate.


Don't understand this at all. :shrug:

10. So ridiculous

I saw this poll being touted, too, on a running line on Morning Joe. They basically gave no context, so it looked like 57% of people are enthusiastic about voting for GOP, vs. 37% for Dems.

Of course, the actual poll is a little different. It puts them at about equal among registered voters, but I think what it was trying to show is that those who are planning to vote GOP are more enthusiastic than those planning to vote for the Dem. But damn, the abbreviated thing they ran was so shortened as to completely mislead.
