Connecticut, Blumenthal, Crazy Linda, and our "friends" in the "liberal" media.
Blumenthal screwed up with his shaving the facts with respect to service in Viet Nam. That pissed people off.

Linda McMahon still trails by double digits.

The media is calling the race "in trouble", this time in the person of A. B. (Helmet Hair) Stoddard on MSNBC.




I know no one wants to hear it, but MSNBC is worse than Fox. This story is an example. They give us all the real liberals at night and they give us their real agenda on the day shift. Thinking the network is liberal to its core (making a mirror image equivalency to Fox) we tend to take whatever they say as gospel.

Blumenthal will win in CT. His fuck up cost him maybe 10 or 15 points in the race, but he still holds a commanding lead. Even the very right leaning Rasmussen has him leading and calls the race "solid Democrat."


Election 2010: Connecticut Senate
Connecticut Senate: Blumenthal (D) Opens Double-Digit Lead Over McMahon (R)
Tuesday, October 05, 2010

In a survey conducted the night after their first head-to-head debate, Democrat Richard Blumenthal has moved further ahead of Republican Linda McMahon in Connecticut’s U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Blumenthal, the state’s longtime attorney general, picking up 54% of the vote. McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, draws support from 43%. Only three percent (3%) of voters are undecided at this point. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

These numbers move the race back to Solid Democrat from Leans Democrat in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

Just over a week ago, it was a 50% to 45% race, Blumenthal’s smallest lead since May. In 12 surveys conducted since January, Blumenthal has received between 47% and 60% of the vote. McMahon’s support has fallen in the 31% to 45% range over the same period.

1. In the end, Richard should win between 55-58% of the vote.
Linda has stalled in the low 40's. Linda also has unfavorable numbers in the mid 50's.

2. I think everyone thinks that. And yet, there is our "friend" MSNBC asking us to believe their lying.
I see people exhorting other people about depressing turnout.

How about aiming some of that where it makes sense - MSNBC and their fellow right wing media owners? (<----- rhetorical, not aimed at you)
