They Will Believe Anything, Continued

4:56 pm EST October 31st, 2008 | News | 22 Comments

This ludicrous bit is now floating around the con blogosphere and Free Republic:

Here is what he ["Carl from Ohio"] says the GOP internal state by state polling is showing for last night:

NJ M – 48, O – 43, U-7
MI M – 44, O- 42, U – 10
CA O – 44, M – 43, Barr – 3, U – 9
PA M – 55, O – 33, U – 10

He says undecideds are breaking 4:1 for McCain.

If you believe this I have a giant bridge to sell you. LOL.

    This idea is floating now, but I expect it to get flushed down the toilet bowl soon.

  2. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    Hopefully these people will have big parties to celebrate McCain obvious landslide win, only to be crushed.

  3. arbitrista says:

    No these polls seems reasonable – as long as one assumes that it’s a poll of Republicans. I mean, that’s what they mean by “internal”, right? Right?

  4. Forrest says:

    Remember, they also poll the voting machines.

  5. hack says:

    Errr… you beat me to it arbitrista.

  6. durablend says:

    No, “internal” means what orifice they pulled these out of

  7. arbitrista says:

    Durablend: ew. funny, but ew.

  8. ike says:

    I’m guessing that’s a bridge to nowhere.

  9. unllaw says:

    …is it a bridge in Brooklyn? How about some beach front property in Nebraska to sell you?

  10. ed says:

    Dunno about those last three, but Obama’s got both Springsteen and Bon Jovi on his team. So New Jersey is safe. Real safe. The best.

  11. freD says:

    And of course, not only did Rove predict a good GOP showing in 2006, he’s still one of their “experts”.

  12. buma says:

    Sounds like harmless freeper bullshit, unless this Carl guy happens to work for a Diebold subsidiary.

  13. Dennis says:

    Do not, I repeat, do not, look at the latest Zogby poll.

    Especially if you’re Erica Jong or Jane Fonda.

  14. Dennis, if you believe that Zogby poll, I must tell you that I only take cash for that bridge in Brooklyn.

    Zogby, Drudge, and most of the right is using Rove math.

  15. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    “Do not, I repeat, do not, look at the latest Zogby poll.”

    One poll out of 8 daily trackers does not scare me, especially one as volatile as Zogby.

    Seriously, look at the wild swings it has had in just the past week or so.

  16. Dennis says:

    Oliver,

    I didn’t say I believed in it. I told everyone here not to look at it.

    Why won’t you answer my question about your Joe Biden accusation?

    And why would you only take cash for the Brooklyn Bridge? Barack Obama doesn’t even require an identification check on credit card donations. Why can’t you be as trusting as he is?

  17. Syco says:

    Dennis are you upset that Obama is a fund raising juggernaut or because McCain isn’t?

    No one ever said the system wasn’t broken. You are complaining to the wrong person.

  18. C.S.Strowbridge says:

    “Why won’t you answer my question about your Joe Biden accusation?”

    Cause you are a fucking ‘tard.

    Seriously. Your accusations of donor fraud are not worth laughing at. You are not worth laughing at. Your questions are certainly not worth answering.

  19. PG says:

    And why would you only take cash for the Brooklyn Bridge? Barack Obama doesn’t even require an identification check on credit card donations. Why can’t you be as trusting as he is?

    Because Obama isn’t trusting. He does a check of identity after the donation is received instead of before. That doesn’t mean he is more trusting; it means he is putting the burden on his campaign to do the check instead of on the donor.

  20. Dennis says:

    Maybe you’re right, PG. I see that Obama is returning his aunt’s donation to his campaign now that he’s suddenly realized she is an illegal alien after he read it in a newspaper. Sherlock Holmes that guy is.

  21. B.BarNavi says:

    Isn’t Zogby left-leaning to begin with?

    Not even Obama’s aunt realized she was illegal. Visa expirations are hard to track, you know. This is a non-story that deserves to be buried.

  22. PG says:

    Dennis,

    If you think Obama reads the name of every person who contributes to his campaign, you’ve allowed your desire to find negatives about him to overtake any semblance of reality, and I find that very sad. Ditto if you think the person whose job that actually is knows the name of every member of Obama’s extended family and which of them are American citizens or permanent residents, and which aren’t.
