Tweety leading off with Bush bump in NEW polls

[buycitgo]

jesus

highlighting Zogby, Gallup, two others

Barnicle says DOUBLE digit poll leads sound MORE believable to him; says it's almost TOO LATE, and he has DAYS to rescue his campaign

[cthrumatrix]

1. I can't believe the media bullshit tonight....WTF is he talking about

10 days before it's over...and that from Mike Barnicle

WTF is going on here....

[MoonRiver]

7. Dee Dee Myers now bashing Kerry, wtf?

Just turned the t.v. off. Thought it might be safe to watch the whores a little, but, WRONG AGAIN. When WILL I learn?

[shivaji]

20. EZ....DeeDee M. is a CLinton hack and wants Kerry to lose so that

Hillary will have a clear run in 2008 with no incumbent
in office.

[lancdem]

24. Bullshit

I'm sick of hearing that garbage on DU, of all places. It belongs on Rush Limbaugh.

[Cush]

2. WTF is Barnicle smoking?

[Jim Sagle]

3. Barnicle's name just about says it all.

;-)

[buycitgo]

4. tweety, Jack Kemp (pro football player--did not SERVE), and

Barnicle just HAMMERING him

Dee Dee Myers is admitting he's not doing too well, NOT ATTACKING the lies about the swiftliars, which tweety referenced

not mentioning the SMEAR campaign, the BS the others are spewing now

[lancdem]

22. Nobody's even talking about the Swift Liars anymore

earth to DeeDee. Kerry's been great the past few days.

[dogtag]

5. Is Dee Dee the best

we can do? Geez Louise.

[jezebel]

10. And WTF is with the windsurfing crack? Can't they let the Republican's

slam Kerry, why must the Democratic strategist pile on too?

[dennis4868]

15. D D MYERS: Kerry should not have been.....

windsurfing but instead he should have been playing basketball during the RNC.....WTF is she talking about?

[Jawja]

41. That's

why she didn't last long as Clinton's Press Secretary. She could not handle a press hell bent on getting Clinton.

[zuzu98]

6. Could Dee Dee Myers be any more negative

about Kerry?

With friends like THAT...

[cthrumatrix]

12. these people must ALL be frigging bought $$$$$$$ ...there are no facts

zero objectivity...all spin and conjecture

[stopbush]

8. Why do you bother watching? No one else does.

[buycitgo]

13. you're right

keep getting reeled in by his performance during the Malkin/ONeill/Zell bubble

back to reality

click

thanks

[MidwestTransplant]

9. They are about 4 days behind

[buycitgo]

11. now tweety is giving advice on what Kerry should do

good points, but he refuses to admit the MEDIA won't cover those items; they INSIST on playing up Kerry's negatives

Barnicle is saying Kerry can't connect, where Bush CAN

what garbage

[dogtag]

14. Did Kemp just promise

forty acres and a mule?

[buycitgo]

18. just turned to PBS

KISSINGER on Iraq!

click

[ItsMyParty]

16. So, what was Tweety's take on those new polls???

Did he agree, say they were bullshit, what???

[lancdem]

17. What new polls?

There's nothing new today, I don't think. BTW, let Barnicle say that. He'll look like an idiot when polls soon show the race even again. The only double-digit polls I know of are Newsweek and Time, and both were done at Bush's peak, and polled way too many Repukes.

[buycitgo]

23. talked about a new Gallup, which shows a seven point lead

Zogby, which shows a two point lead, which is a change from a Kerry seven point lead (that one bothers me)

one other, actually, which I can't remember

none of the double digit lead polls were cited, IIRC

no mention, of course, of how those double digit ones are reducing quickly

they really went after Kerry for not being able to get his message out, being too elite, focusing on wrong subjects

Dee Dee was atrocious, though....completely useless, spineless

THAT was the time for a powerful counterattack on what LIARS the pugs are about EVERYTHING

WHEN are they going to get some detailed, repeatable talking points

[lancdem]

27. I guess there was no mention of how that CNN poll

only shows Kerry down by 1 among registered voters. As for DeeDee Myers, just be glad she's not working for Kerry. I was never a big fan of hers.

[buycitgo]

28. course not....they played UP the fact that it was likely voters

and didn't mention that the CNN/Gallup poll of the other day was ELEVEN points up, which means he's down four already

[lancdem]

31. Actually, the CNN poll didn't have him down 11

It was Time and Newsweek. But, hey, let the pundits count Kerry out. We all know how wrong they are about everything else.

[buycitgo]

34. wasn't it Time/CNN/Gallup?

don't they do those together?

getting confused

[iwantmycountryback]

19. Saw Barnicle saying that

Had to restrain myself from laughing. It's like, please. I didn't even take it seriously, it's just moronic.

[Piperay]

21. Days???

The OFFICIAL campaign started yesterday! :wtf:

[buycitgo]

25. he mentioned the TEXANS for TRUTH ad, but didn't show it

surprised?

[kstewart33]

26. Myers is right

Kerry's not making it guys. Not so far. And he only has about a week to recover and re-establish himself. He needs to get on message fast, if he can figure out what the message is.

[lancdem]

29. I think his message has improved dramatically in recent days

He's engaging Bush on Iraq and the economy, which he wasn't doing for about a month. Remember, Bush benfitted from the fact those two issues were off the radar screen for weeks. Now they're back on.

[mbali]

30. Kerry's got a message and he's all over it . . .

The fact that the mediawhores don't bother to cover it is NOT his doing.

[sonicx]

32. i didn't know the election was in a week...

BTW, Gore was trailing Bush by double digits in mid October 2000 (Gallup).

[buycitgo]

33. zackly,,,,,,,and it PISSES ME OFF that she's pushing that line

that's STRAIGHT out of Rove

WTF?

[Clinton Crusader]

[Clinton Crusader]

40. I need 2000

not 2004, are there any 2000 still online? great thanks.
:kick:

[Clinton Crusader]

36. Im concerned as well

After speaking with some Dems and undecideds today they have me thinking, I KNOW too much. But that is by far my biggest fault, think think think, over think. DOES he have it in him to get the message across, the message is so obvious, but it's escaping him, no WMDs, over 1000 dead soldiers for absolutely nothing, a wrecked economy, a huge surplus turned into a huge deficit, you know it all but Im starting to feel like it's getting away from us.

Someone said to me today if he doesnt start taking command in 2 weeks, that's it.

cheer me up.

:kick:

[lancdem]

42. Well, internal polls showed Bush's lead to be 4 points

after the convention, according to Josh Marshall. It's hard, though, to keep Dems from getting discouraged when all they hear about is these double-digit leads.

[NightOwwl]

43. Well, I'll give it a try...

Last week I was very concerned about Kerry's lackadaisical campaign.

I think he has come out swinging this week. His speeches are filled with attacks on Bush's handling of the war, the economy and health care. And he is keeping his remarks short, to-the-point and media-friendly. I think the "W is Wrong" slogan is weak, but they can expand on the theme. I don't think it would hurt to up the nasty quotient, though.

Today Edwards called Cheney un-American for his completely irresponsible comment that "the nation faces the threat of another terrorist attack if voters make the "wrong choice" on Election Day." This is exactly how these fear-mongers should be handled. And it worked. Cheney has already backed down from his statement.

So I am feeling much better now. A lot can happen in two months, and if they stay on offense, they can knock George right off of his little pedestal.

[kentuck]

35. Kerry should take Patrick Buchanan's advice....

Ignore the media. They don't know what the hell they are talking about. Kick their asses and take names. They are followers....wherever you want to lead them.

[girl gone mad]

39. Buchanan is right.

Democrats have a big problem where they think they should try and be friends with the media.

Fuck that. I'm with you - we need to stop trying to be popular and take a Rovian approach. Get tough and get results. Don't just take names, name names.
