NewsMax is run by, and is slanted toward Repugnicans. That said, it's PRETENDING to be a NEWS organization. The article was an interview of the independent pollster John Zogby, who's merely reporting the results of his polls. If NewsMax was reporting a huge Republican sweep, they'd OBVIOUSLY be partisan and lying. NewsMax is going public. Maybe you can buy some stock! Info about NewsMax: conwebwatch.tripod.com "Richard Mellon Scaife has a stake in NewsMax. According to the prospectus, Scaife owns about 7.2 percent of NewsMax Media, expected to drop to 5.8 percent after the IPO. That's not exactly surprising, given that CEO Christopher Ruddy used to work for Scaife at his newspaper near Pittsburgh. Scaife's official stake -- and you have to wonder, given Scaife's reputation as the moneybag behind a lot of hardline conservatives, if he didn't kick in even more than his official share of the company indicates -- makes him NewsMax's third largest shareholder. At the top is Ruddy, with 32.6 percent (27.1 percent after the IPO), followed by Michael Ruff (with 25 percent, or 20.3 percent after the IPO), described in the prospectus as a former real estate developer in Dallas and current president of Icarus Investments, a venture capital firm. There are a total of 190 stockholders of record."

"That means some 20 percent are not proud, are ashamed or not sure. But for the Democrats it was 64 percent who said that they were proud - meaning one in three are ashamed. " For one, the math is whacked. 71% proud means 29% are not so, big difference from 20%. For the Dems, that is 64% proud and 36% not so. Per usual with NewsMax, other papers have different information. Asked if they were proud or ashamed of their political party, 74% of Republicans said they were proud, while 13% said they were ashamed. Among Democrats, 66% said they were proud of their party, compared to 11% of Democrats who said they were ashamed. northdenvernews.com So it looks as more Republicans flat out state they are ashamed than Democrats.

"Make no mistake about it, Republicans are on the ropes," declares John Zogby, president and CEO of Zogby International, the hottest pollster in the country today. Oops! Wrong! Zogby once was the hottest....since 2004 when he got it wrong big time, he has fallen on hard times. But in an exclusive interview with NewsMax, Zogby acknowledges that the GOP could still make a late comeback as various Republican-leaning groups "come back home." Very true. No one believes the GOP is out of the midterm elections.
