Talk about skewing the vote... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Shawnie | October 21, 2007 11:23 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Talk about skewing the vote results!
There are three facts that are being left out that spins the story.
The on site voting polls were closed down after Romney's speech and opened back up after Huckabee's speech the next day. That means those who came to support and listen to Huckabee were able to vote on site. Those who came to listen to and support Romney the day before were not.
There were many more attendees at the event than voted on site. A lot of folks who attended voted online with their laptops and other electronic hand helds. The non-progressive folks waited in line to vote.
The organization that sent out the emails urging people to vote online was the community "Evangelicals for Mitt". Romney's own campaign did not do that, duh he has an 80,000 donor base, if he had solicited online votes the would have blitzed the online voting.

If so, Shawnie, do the crossing torsions even it out, or make it meaningless or, at least, difficult to interpret? Any idea?

A lot has been made of this on the news shows today. I like Huckabee, but he can't win against Hillary. Romney strikes me as being wooden and well rehearsed. He can't beat Hillary. I love Thompson, but he's got to campaign hard if he wants this.
Can any "values" candidate beat Hillary? What happens if there's a 3rd party values candidate? We get Hillary. Where are our values then? On hold for 4 to 8 years, I fear.
So all of this is interesting, but we should not lose sight of what is at stake.

Well, I'm not too worried. All of them can beat Hillary, especially when they start working together.
