Poll question: Do you believe the mainstream media narrative that the Democrats are not motivated to vote?
Also, who is to say that minorities are not taken aback by the Tea Party's hate filled rhetoric?

1. I voted that I did not believe it, but that belief only holds for the
election next week. Of course Dems are going to get out and vote then. I believe it will be different in 2012 if the Dems have not stopped their playing footsie with the bankers and the Pubs. I think that Obama may be dogged by a primary challenger and even if not, he may run into trouble in the actual election.

2. Don't need the media-- enough people right here talking about...
how pissed off and rejected they feel.

5. I think the tide is beginning to turn and we will see it on the MSM next week.

7. I think seeing how crazy the Tea Party is has motivated Democrats
at a very high level. That seems to be clear in the early voting and I personally was more motivated to vote than usual during a mid term because of these wacko's.

8. Kind of. Nobody is 'motivated' to vote during midterms.
Edited on Sat Oct-23-10 11:50 PM by onehandle
Democrats who know what the right is up to may be motivated, but most people don't see the shit we see online and on MSNBC.

So the MSM may be right.

The racist core of the Right is motivated. That's for sure.
