"But in the process [of reporting poll data and analysis] you are shaping opinion. Predictions can be self-confirming, because wishy-washy voters might go with the candidate who is perceived to be more successful." –New York Slimes
This is too amusing. The managing partner of this upstart firm is Scott Riding, fresh off the campaign team of Jeb Bush. How much you want to bet Romney is their sole investor? I can't find that they've ever done another presidential poll.
The media are publishing this suspiciously bogus poll without disclosing the pollster's self-interests. No doubt to more readily influence "wishy-washy voters (who) might go with the candidate who is perceived to be more successful."
Straight out the always unobjective New York Slimes' political playbook.
"The media has created the perception that the voters will decide the nomination, and that's the conflict here," Curly Haugland, an unbound GOP[e] delegate from North Dakota, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Wednesday. He even questioned why primaries are held.
Republican convention rules member Haugland: "Political parties choose their nominee, not the general public, contrary to popular belief."
CNBC: "Then why bother holding the primaries?"
Haugland: "That's a very good question."
To just think, all this time we keep wasting standing in line at polling places and casting ballots could be spent doing more productive things. Like honing our marksmanship at the firing range. Or stocking up on the rope we'll be needing for properly adorning our nation's trees and lampposts.
The real problem, of course, is the fascistream media letting us inferior mortals believe we have an actual say in our so-called election process. For example, Comrade Bernie's voters are asking themselves, "Yes we can outnumber Her Nib's voters at the polls, but what difference, at this point, does it make with who gets the most delegates?" The media Democrook Party's propaganda arm should be telling them it's the white-privileged patriarchal women-warring-oning top-one-percenting racist bigot homophobe Republican Party that's created a climate of discrimination against them because…reasons. Having Demofascist superdelegates wear capes and fly around vowing to fight such villainous injustice would help too.
It and its best buds forever in the GOP Establishment have already teamed up to tell the Republican front-runner's voters they're nothing but a bunch of backwards bumpkins whose voices don't matter anyway. Who should care what they believe, right? Curly Haugland and his convention-broker accomplices sure don't. He's just being more open about it.
To Establishmentardians like him, how many ballots we cast for THitlerump™ over the next twelve weeks is inconsequential.
Better for us to let them continue believing that. It's clear they're dying to find out firsthand what a true conflict is.

It "provides professional and ethical [sic] public affairs services to clients facing government challenges on the state and federal levels...." Its partners are Brian Perry, who "served as spokesperson for Governor Haley Barbour's 2007 reelection" and "is a former political director of the Mississippi Republican Party," and Brian Wilson, who "served five years as senior legislative assistant to Senator Trent Lott" and "served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and worked in local Republican leadership positions." At the former's BrianPerry.ms site, he says "his column, Reasonably Right, appears weekly in the Madison County Journal and other newspapers in Mississippi."
Conclusion: "Mississippi Conservatives" are only two guys, both GOP-Establishment big shots. They're not part of some shady front group set up by the Demøcrook Party Politburo. But if these two did distribute that race-based flyer on or even just in behalf of their Establishment masters...
Had just 167,000 switched their votes, Øfascist wouldn't have "won"* the election.
T
hat's only 36,595 voters in Florida, 51,741 in Ohio, 57,956 in Virginia, and 20,330 in New Hampshire. Given this season's Super Bowl at the Superdome in New Orleans can accomodate 73,000 of them, the margin is actually less than three.
Also, had just 490,000 switched nationwide, Øfascist wouldn't have "won" even a majority of votes.
Moreover, had just 1,020,000 switched, Øfascist wouldn't have "won" a plurality of votes, either.
E electoral votes. T votes tallied. R voted for Romney. Ø voted for Øfascist. S-vote switch needed to change outcome.

For somebody who "won" fewer electoral votes, fewer popular votes, a smaller percentage of the popular vote, and fewer states than he did in his first election — an unprecedented feat in American history — only an extremist nutjøbama fascist liberal(birm) could consider this anything other than a Pyrrhic victory.
Packages and school supplies raised through these organizations are transported to Iraq, free of charge, by FedEx, then distributed to Iraqi children by our brave freedom fighters.
