loco, every major poll - Rasmussen, Pew, Reuters, Bloomberg etc - has Obama decisively beating Perry. Thanks, kenny. I'm going to miss you since there is no reason for you to post here anymore after doing such a fine job in brainwashing people. Well done, if I may say so.

loco, every major poll - Rasmussen, Pew, Reuters, Bloomberg etc - has Obama decisively beating Perry. I pray that every poll reflects that right up to election day. The democrats will be overconfident and the republicans will understand the necessity to get out there and vote. And we will have the biggest upset since Truman. Keep on posting those polls!

New York Fallout: Losing Dem Blames Obama by Publius From Reuters: A New York Democrat candidate blamed President Barack Obama on Thursday for his loss in a special election for a House of Representatives district that had been held by the Democrats for more than 80 years. The Republican upset on Tuesday in a district where Democrats outnumber Republicans three to one has rattled some Democrats ahead of the November 2012 presidential election. David Weprin, a New York state assemblyman, said his loss in a race to replace disgraced Anthony Weiner, who resigned in a Twitter sex scandal, was an “unfortunate consequence” of a campaign that turned into a “referendum” on Obama’s policies. Republican Bob Turner, a retired media executive, won by six percentage points after urging discontented voters to send Obama a message. It is the first time the Republicans have won the heavily Jewish district since the 1920s. “The message of the campaign was, ‘Send Obama a message,’” said Weprin, who is from a well-connected political family. “I think the problem was that he’s the president and people are frustrated and it’s just natural to take it out on the top guy … or the top guy’s party.” “As much as I tried to make it about David Weprin or Bob Turner, I don’t think that resonated to voters. I think that voters looked at it as a referendum on the president,” he said, adding that he did not believe Weiner’s scandalous resignation played a role in the Democrat loss of the district.
