Chuck Todd on MSNBC just now.............if some states do not "even out" before the debates

[secondwind]

then the "Palin Bounce" may have a hardening effect, and Obama may have some problem.

[AllieB]

1. He's full of shit as usual.

Chuck Todd is a right wing tool.

[jbnow]

28. Todd is great with numbers, just not with opinion nt

[AllieB]

34. I don't even think he's that great with numbers. He manipulates the numbers

to fit his opinion.

[Captain Hilts]

2. IGNORE him. There is no basis for this 'fact'.

I had eight years in political polling.

[villager]

3. Todd is sure sold on that "Palin bounce" idea of his...

n/t

[annabanana]

12. I think he's on the PAYROLL of the "bounce". . . If it goes away

he loses his bonus.

[Overseas]

33. Here's what Gallup admitted about that Palin Bounce

Edited to add Thanks to ProSense for Gallup story:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

About a deliberate decision by Gallup and USA Today to release a McSame post convention bounce poll because it was so much more favorable to him than any other poll ever,

but not to release any post convention bounce poll on Obama.

==========

And here's some background on Rasmussen from DarthDem

4. and I say it's all bullshit

and if McCain and his haus frau keep up the idiocy, more than half of Republican voters will be staying home this time.

[1corona4u]

5. Just ignore him...

Seriously. He works for rightwing hacks.

[Curtland1015]

6. Some are "evening out" as we speak... some have even flipped to US.

What is he talking about?

[Oceansaway]

7. fuck Chuck...he's a hack like Lurch Gregory...n/t

[Neecy]

8. he's so full of shit

The Palin bounce has already started to deflate - her approval numbers have been steadily going down since her ABC interview.

[PCIntern]

9. PCIntern on Chuckie Todd

the BS artist extraordinaire: if you don't even-out your stilted coverage before sundown, then the peter-meter may have a hardening effect, and your ratings may have a problem.

asshole.

[SuperTrouper]

10. Please he is such a cheap whore, I don't even listen to him

[1corona4u]

11. LOL, fascinating that most of us replied the same thing, and many of the same words...

LOL

[Cha]

14. I will join in with my

summation of chuck the mediawhore todd. Oooops, I just did.

[Connie_Corleone]

13. I really don't give a flying monkey poo what Chuck Todd says.

[featherman]

15. Just a media time filler piece for the 24/7 news cycle... silly stuff

[ErinBerin84]

16. more "brilliant" analysis from Chucky T......

Sometimes I like him, but he's a corp monkey just like the rest of them, who needs a horserace. I remember in March, he would say that Clinton needed a 20 point win in PA to have any chance of beating Obama for the nomination, but when that didn't happen, he was in the boat with everyone else, in awe over the 9 point "blowout", and nodding his head along with everyone who was still presenting the horserace. Then, after the primaries, Chuck chuckled and said "Well, it's partly our fault in the media (the Clinton supporters who refused to vote for Obama) too, because the media has been telling the Clinton supporters that they had a fifty fifty chance of the nomination for a while, when the fact is that she had a much bigger hurdle than was presented after February. They were sort of lead on." No shit, Todd. I wonder if he had a talking to from his handlers after the hot mike moment when he said that Palin was gimicky.

17. For the love of god, turn the M$M OFF.

[Thrill]

18. What Polls are he looking at?

[NoodleyAppendage]

19. RACISM. Racism folks...this ALL boils down to racism. Pure and simple.

The calculus of the McGrampy & Nazi Girl party is to co-opt the Obama message knowing that if there isn't much of a difference between the candidates then most whites will vote for the "white party."

[oviedodem]

23. Most salient point on this board today.

[NoodleyAppendage]

20. Dupe n/t

21. b-o-y-c-o-t-t n/t

[firedupdem]

22. I turned that ass off! What Palin Bounce? They want to distrort

the truth and make people believe this election is all but over. I hate CNN and MSNBC at this point.

[scheming daemons]

24. Describe "even out"... is Obama pulling ahead in Virginia an "evening out"?

[JBoris]

25. How about reporting issues instead of treating this thing like a sports race, you M$M whores!

They sound less like reporters, and more like sports announcers every year. Then there is Kieth O, who actually is a sports announcer, and he manages to talk about issues, even as he beats up bush/McC/Palin.

[secondwind]

26. I'm new here, and I hope to God you are all right.... you all seem

better informed than a 61 yr. old baby boomer (happily retired)............

[malta blue]

27. hi mom

:hug:

[book_worm]

29. Notice it's always Obama who has the problem, never McCain.

[alcibiades_mystery]

32. Even as Palin's favorability ratings drop like a rock

Chuck Todd is a fucking sloppy-goateed tool.

[beachmom]

30. There are certain segments that have "hardened", but the idea

that the Religious Right was ever going to vote Democratic wasn't realistic. HOWEVER, where Chuck Todd and the rest of the media haven't focused is the new voters we are getting.

[alcibiades_mystery]

31. Chuck Todd wants an Election Night White Board Moment like Broder Wants a Pony

And he's just as likely to get it as Bush is likely to close with 60% approval.

Chuck Todd is officially a lying piece of shit.
