A question for my friends on the left.........

[Stinger]

I think it says you are making unfounded inferences from the data.

Pot to kettle? See my replies concerning the data posted in the Looming Recession thread.

 

[Stinger]

When only democrats are voting--Lamont won. When both dems and repubs are being polled, Lieberman is more popular because the repubs are voting for him and NOT Lamont.

Aren't Republicans as much Americans as Democrats when we consider the statement about Americans supporting or not supporting the war? So if Lieberman is truancing Lamont and Liberman supports our efforts in Iraq what does that say about AMERICANS, not Democrats or Republicans, in that very liberal state?

 

[hipsterdufus]

If the polls show that most Americans are against the war in Iraq how can you explain the fact that in the latest polls Leiberman is leading Lamont by a 46% to 41%?

It's early. I expect Lieberman to drop out of the race in late September. Lamont will and should have the full backing of the Democratic party.

Anyway logic 101 would show that you can't extrapololate from this poll to the general tone of the country.

Why would you expect Leiberman to drop out if he is mashing Lamont in the polls in September?

 

[::Major_Baker::]

First of all I am no moderate......Lets get that straight Major..........Like Leiberman I don't agree with him on many issues but he is strong on defense and support for the military.........He is instrumental in getting many contracts for the local bases here at Fort Lewis, McChord, Sub base Bangor, and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and keeping those bases off the closure list...........

So then by voting for dicks you must agree with the majority of his positions then?
Right?

I disagree with him on most issues especially social ones......

The only thing it really says is that in a general election, the republicans in Conn. are going to vote for Lieberman.

Yeah but they won't make much of a difference since there are only50,000 registered Republicans in the state..............Watch out for the Independents though.They are the biggest voting bloc in the state and judging by the polls they will be going for Leiberman......

 

[hipsterdufus]

Your wish is my command but the poll was not 46 to 41 Leiberman, I apologize for that........It is 49 to 38 favoring Leiberman and don't kid yourself, the reason Leiberman lost in that primary was because of his support of the Iraq War and you know it......

Here you go, eat your heart out::roll: So much for polls that say Americans want out of Iraq......

New Poll Shows Lieberman Leading Lamont
By SUSAN HAIGH Thursday, August 17, 2006

HARTFORD, Conn. - Ned Lamont, whose anti-war campaign rattled the political landscape by toppling Sen. Joe Lieberman in Connecticut's Democratic primary, is gaining support among voters _ but Lieberman still has an edge, according to a poll released Thursday.

The Quinnipiac University poll has Lieberman leading Lamont among registered voters 49 percent to 38 percent. Republican Alan Schlesinger gets support from 4 percent. Among likely voters, Lieberman was supported by 53 percent, compared to Lamont's 41 percent and Schlesinger's 4 percent.

Your link is no good.

Your link is no good.

They probably deleted the article......The text is from the link....


Bottom line if you have been keeping up on the race you would know that Leiberman is leading Lamont by double digit figures......
