LA: Vitter Holds Double-Digit Lead Over Melancon
A new poll from Southern Media and Opinion Research shows Republican US Senator David Vitter with a healthy lead over Democratic challenger Charles Melancon.
US SENATE – LOUISIANA (SMOR)
David Vitter (R-inc) 48%
Charles Melancon (D) 36%
No dates were given in the article for the poll other than it was done last week among 600 likely voters.




1st
First of all, Obama is not at 45% in LA and Jindal is not at 64%. SMOR is one of those pollsters where everybody gets higher approval ratings than what they actually hold.
However, Vitter is still likely up 12.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
WAsnt Vittner suppose to be the most vulnerable R this time? Looks like an uphill climb for Charlie.
The D’s thought they could win this on morals. Think again. See Dodd,Burris, Rangel et al….
GM,
Yeah, that is what they thought. LA will only get worse for them. Obama is going to pass something on HC reform and whatever that turns out to be will only make the D’s more unpopular. Vitter will have a 15% lead 3 or 4 months from now.
A huge tactical error on the paert of the DNSCC.
CNN Obama approval: 55-43
“For the first time since he took over in the White House, Americans don’t see eye to eye with President Barack on the important issues, according to a new national poll… 48 percent of people questioned say that they agree with Obama on the issues that matter most to them, with 51 percent saying no.”
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/10/20/cnn-poll-half-the-country-disagrees-with-obama-on-issues/
Soooo CNN admits their 55/43 is bogus.
I’m guessing D+14
Gallup: 50/43
All we need is a bad news day today and we’ve got him under 50%.
This battle with Fox news isn’t going Obama’s away.
Obama falls in Gallup: 50 (-1)/43 (+1)

What’s a matter with you people? Don’t you know a popular President when you see one?
The ABC/Washington Post poll says he’s popular. Wildly so.
Racists!!
The TPM freaks are working overtime on Christie.

Re# 5: The D’s thought they could win this on morals. Think again.
Love the comment on the link….”This proves that being a democrat is worse than going to a whore house”.
Five issues under 30% approval. None of the ten issues is a net positive. Only one of the ten is not showing a deterioration. Is it time to have another address to Congress? LOL
21. YOU LIE !!!
EPH I hope you were trying to be funny. I never lie, and it is usually the surest way to start an argument with me, as I consider my credibility something to be guarded carefully.
Gary, He was clearly joking.
I think all Obama needs to go under 50% is for the stock market to take another hit. If we have a double dip in the stock market (market down to around 8500 or less), then I’m guessing Obama’s approval will drop to the low 40’s.
Palin to go on Oprah on the 16th, one day before her book is released.
If I were the GOP, I would have those clips of Obama and Biden saying that the economic recovery is well underway ready. My guess 2010 will be in the middle of the double dip, and GOP lawmakers will be able to use those clips against him kind of like the Dems were able to use “Mission Accomplished in Iraq” against the GOP.
I looked at the internals on the CNN poll. First time in months they didn’t poll approval of Obamacare. Kind of strange. Could it be they just didn’t like the results? Just asking.
The Internal Revenue Service launched an inquiry into more than 100,000 suspicious claims for the first-time homebuyer tax credit, The Wall Street Journal reported Oct. 20.
Housing industry analysts have estimated that the credit has created 350,000 home sales out of the roughly 2 million homebuyers expected to receive the $8,000 benefit, the newspaper reported. There are 167 “criminal schemes” under investigation by the IRS, according to the House Ways and Means oversight subcommittee.
Lets put the government in charge of HC, what could possibly go wrong?
23. Gary,
No, I was doing my Joe Wilson
26. really?
#25 I think all Obama needs to go under 50% is for the stock market to take another hit.
Sean, this is quite possible and in fact the smart money on Wall Street is expecting exactly that. Have you noticed how light the volume has been on this rally to 10,000? The normal investers are sitting this rally out and even selling into the rally at places. However the big money investers that got TARP money are dumping in the market rather than be forced to use it to made (in their mind) high risk loans.
Essentially this rally is govt induced smoke and mirrors.

The ins firms TV spots on how Obamacare will effect seniors is devastating.
They will pass something very minor but I know think it will be without mandates or the public option
BTW – I was more pessimistic before the recent ad blitz.
The squishy R’s now have a very good reason not to cave. It is a shame that the ins firms have to protect the interests of seniors. The AARP should fulfill that role but they have completely sold out to the radical left.
Wow and double wow. I hope the Republican nominee Harry Reid’s seat is braced. According to Politico, Harry Reid is going to “vaporize” his Republican opponent with attack ads – defining them BEFORE they can define themselves. The article says he has the money – close to 10 million – and the desire to put away his opponent. The article says he’s been studying Corzine’s negative campaign and likes what he sees with the results so far.
Nothing surprising. It’s all he can do. Says he learned from the Daschle campaign that you have to hit early and hit hard. Said Daschle wasn’t negative enough.
Says Reid will do whatever it takes to destroy whoever Lofton or Tark – that he’s got a growing file of dirt on both – just waiting for the right time.

Polaris, I really am feeling better and better about a GOP takeover of the House, and a regaining of an effective filibuster minority in the Senate. The thing though with the Senate, I have a feeling many of the GOP gains will add to the moderate caucus (Castle in DE, Kirk in IL, Simmonds in CT), but hey we’ll take moderates in the blue states. Obama will then be at a crossroads – he’ll either get the message that he needs to swing to the center, or he’ll fight the will of the American people. My guess he’ll fight the will of the people. And then, if, and only if the Republicans field a strong candiate, Obama may not be invinceable…
Polaris, I’ve heard the same thing about the stock market rally… Thing is this fake rally will only make Obama own more and more of the economy.
Phil,
The GOP needs to heed the warning. Hit him hard now and let his response be nothing but added noise.
Nevada is not NJ. A GOP candidate, even a tier B candidate, can beat someone like Reid in 10. Let’s have Reid waste millions of $ stolen by far left radicals.
Eph,
Keeps your hands off Gary’s uterus.
I just hope the Republican nominee is ready to respond. The GOP has going for it the fact that Reid is a big govt hack. With the lousy economy in Vegas you’d expect Reid to be down. I’d hate to see Reid be successful defining his opponent before our nominee even gets out of the gate.
Obama truth – o -meter :
We will creat or save 3 million jobs- you lie
We will be post partisan- you lie

Sean,
I have long been on record as predicting the R’s will gain +47 in the House and +6 in the Senate. As things stand today, my estimates may actually be conservative.
The “rebounding economy” is a complete mirage fueled by enormous gov spending that is going to and actually already is causing a massive devaluation of the $. I predicted that this would occur during a “sweet spot period when things would seem to be getting better.
We are close to falling off the cliff. Only the overall aggregate size of our economy has prevented a total collapse.
The sweet spot ends in 3 to 4 months. Then, all Hell will break loose.
Then, all Hell will break loose.

I’ve always been amazed that more isn’t made of the fact that the “state senator” in CASINO is based on ole Mr. Reid.
Bottom line, I guess Nevadans are immune to politicians with there hand out or pants down.
#43 I agree consumer spending is already incredibly weak. Christmas will be the last time many families spend money for awhile (and even then spending will be down). The post-Christmas holiday is going to be dismal after all the gift cards are used.
Mdefl, I agree with your analysis. I’m feeling pretty good here in Colorado about a Senator Jane Norton, however I really was hoping for Ryan Frazier and believe in 2010, Frazier could beat Bennet. Here’s to hoping the GOP tide sweeps in Frazier in CO CD-7, and Frazier then is able to challenge Udall down the road.
36. TB,
Maybe I can get Chek to DVR it for us?
Jane Norton described herself one time as a “McCain Republican”. I just feel that Colorado could elect a true conservative and I don’t know if Norton will fit that bill or not.

Would you mind if I only briefly touched your uterus?
I also believe that Josh Penry will be the next governor of Colorado, and if so, watch out! He’s young, articulate, conservative, and may have a bright future ahead of him.
This is not a new prediction for me. I said that the $ would begin to rapidly devalue within 6 months back in March. I missed that by amonth. Scary days ahead.
Gas has gone up here 18 cents in the past week.
I’ve already started to move a large number of my investments to gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, MD, to hedge against the dollar’s devaluation.
The deficit is so bad that the only way out is to inflate the currency. Every single thing is set up for a repeat of the late 70’s, only this time it will be worse.
1. A bad job market
2. Firm’s afraid to spend or innovate.
3. A rapidly devaluing $ causing commodity inflation.
4. A government endlessly printing money.
5. Proposals for excessive regulation for well over 50% of the US economy.
I have never seen all these things line up at the same time – until the last 6 months.
$4 gas is coming
Mdefl, my gut is now saying Christie wins by 2 percent in New Jersey… The networks will call VA for Bob (Bob’s for jobs, remember), and the NJ race may go deep into the night.
Call me a masochist: I just had to check out polipundit to see what was going on over there. Like clockwork, Obamahomoleaf was singing the praise of government-run health care and slobbering over the wonderful economy we have based on a better-than-expected showing by Apple stocks.
25 million aids deaths and counting
The corruption issue that just hit won’t help Johnny C, even though it’s a relatively localized event.
The only reason companies made money was because of the lay off. The idea that corporate profits are indication of an improving economy is total crap.
Tim V,
Guess which POTUS did a 100 times more than the previous Pres in regards to AIDS funding in Africa?
George W. Bush
He didn’t talk much about it per Bob Geldof but he provided action whereas Clinton talked about it all the time and did virtually nothing while he was Pres.
Would you please go to polipundit and explain that to Obamahomoleaf, Chek? He seems too stupid to figure it out on his own.
Wes,
I truly hate Joke Leaf. Man, why do you do that to yourself?
As I recall, MD, the heads of state in Africa were supremely ungrateful to Bush for that, saying they didn’t think the billions he was providing to them to battle AIDS would be enough.
Wes,
Have you ever read Michener’s Centennial? Smokeleaf reminds me of a character callled Lone Eagle in that novel.
I guess I must have a latent fetish even I’m unaware of to be tied up and tortured by a dominatrix, Phil; aside from advancing that as a theory, I really don’t know.
Bush did more for AIDS, human rights and women’s rights than Clinton or any Democrat. Dems just talk. Bush acted on it.
I’d never heard of it till you just mentioned it, MD. I’ll have to check it out though. The blurb on amazon looks promising.
Wes,
They were upset because Bush had provisions put in to ensure that the bananna dictators could not steal the $ for their personal piggy banks. It is one the few things Bush did right in his second term.
Unfortunately, Chek, Bush never tried to take credit for his actions. Blunder #65,536 by Bush.
I am convinced Joke Leaf spouts all that crap just to piss everyone over there off (all 10 readers that are left). Man, nobody could be that stupid on purpose.
Well, since the money was intended to combat AIDS, Bush definitely did the right thing. Those ingrate bastards–whose countries’ GDPs combined don’t equal the amount of money Bush gave them–should be deposed and imprisoned.
Chekote, Did you read the “Race Detective ” comic ?
Wes,
You will love it! Trust me. Michener also went to great lengths not to take sides politically although you can ascertain that he was liberal. Still, he may be the best story teller of the last generation.
I don’t know what happened to Oak Leaf. But after the 2006 election he changed.
Um, Phil, have you ever paid attention to posts on this site by Alan, Aaron from Texas, Cory, KeyBored, Libertarian girl, LisaB, and Trolletta? We’re not exactly talking about people who would give Einstein any sleepless nights here.
Bush did more for AIDS, human rights and women’s rights than Clinton or any Democrat. Dems just talk. Bush acted on it.
Comment by Chekote
What did Bush do for reproductive rights ?
There was a time when Obamahomoleaf wasn’t a salivating leftwinger, Chek?
Wes,
Some other great Michener books:
The Source
Mexico
Texas
Hawaii
What did Bush do for reproductive rights ?
Nothing. I wonder when pro-lifers will finally catch on to the fact that most politicians will only give them lip service. There is no incentive for ANY politician to actually criminalize abortion during the first trimester. It will NEVER happen.
I just started Alaska and it looks promising.
I’ll check them out, MD. I read one of his books years ago. I can’t remember which one though. I remember thinking it had some great storytelling but seriously needed an editor for the writing. Then again, I’ve heard Michener was never known for grammatical structure.
#83
As I recall, Oak Leaf was conservative until 2006. I think Bush caused a backlash even in conservative circles.
Ignore the grammar and focus on the history.
He must have been going through detox then, Chek.
Here’s another story about my 10% world:
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5grRQ6dLLl9di4HgR4iI_gOesmUkwD9BEAN383
the AP is behind in reporting this as the Fed-CBO-White house have all been projecting 10% unemployment for the next year or two or three. Economic projections beyond a year or two is hard but through 2010 -10% is the new norm.
I hate it as I met another fella the other day looking for a job. Its tough and I feel for folks.
I might Canada, Australia, China and some countries in Asia and Europe are now back to adding jobs. Due to Obama the USA is missing out on the recovery. I hate because as an American we should doing better economically.
I take it great storytelling and horrible grammar is a general theme in Michener’s books then, MD?
Rdel, the saying used to be “As the US economy goes, so goes the world economy.” I wonder what Obama will cause the saying to be in the future.
What did Bush do for reproductive rights ?
Nothing.
and for uterus rights ?
LOL
Any polling on uterus rights lately?

You know, Tim, I didn’t see Chekote bringing up abortion. Are you experiencing a bit of unease with your positions on social issues now that impels you to start haranguing her?
I remember when Oak Leaf was just a regular poster at Polipundit, known mostly for kissing up to and brown nosing Polipundit. When Polipundit decided his fellow bloggers were not loyal enough because they didn’t support his bizarre rants that called Bush a traitor and El Presidente and kicked them off, Oakleaf got the job on the basis of biggest sycophant.

Thanks Brandon.
Can we please NOT have the same argument for the 10000th time? We all know where one another stands.
Does anyone have an early look at the RAS NJ poll?
“Are you ready to concede that the networks will not be projecting Christie as the winner a half hour after the polls close?”
Republicans are never called winnners half an hour after the polls close, only Democrats. But if Corzine is ahead in exit polls, there will be roundtables before the polls close about “why did Corzine do well”, and “42.3% of voters thought Christie was too fat to be governor”.
PPP is leaking data again:
New Poll: 48% Of Republicans Say Obama Does Not Love America — 27% Say He Does
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/10/new-poll-48-of-republicans-say-obama-does-not-love-america—-27-say-he-does.php?ref=fpb
More than half of Republicans either say President Obama doesn’t love America or say they aren’t sure of his feelings toward the country he leads.
That’s according to a new national poll due out tomorrow from Public Policy Polling. The firm gave TPMDC an early look this afternoon.
PPP polled 766 registered voters nationwide. Of the GOP respondents, 27% agreed that Obama “loves America,” 48% disagreed and 25% said they weren’t sure.
#100
It is just TimV’s way of letting me know that he missed me.
I’m feeling pretty good about this PPP poll. Correct me if I’m wrong but around 40% of Republicans thought Obama was a citizen in PPP polling.
If only 27% believe that he loves this country, then Obama’s GOP approval is probably 12% at best.
Chek, hello. How have you been?
What the hell kind of poll is that, Tommy?
You must be his new attempt at love then, Chek, since LisaB left him without so much as a goodbye kiss.
#112
Totally destructive on the part of Republicans. Attack Obama’s policies. Attack his naivete, inexperience. But nobody knows what is in his heart or mind.
Wes,
I have not had time to keep up with all the developments. I was just wondering.
104, not to mention that a single politician does not have the power to criminize something. It takes a body of legislators to pass a law, that would end up being challenged in the high court where the SCOTUS would decide constitutionality.
If the NJ vote is close the MSM will wait for Corzine’s operatives to scout out some cemeteries and come up with missing votes. Dead people can’t be prosecuted so its ok if they vote multiple times.
Years ago a candidate died (true story) died before the election, remained on the ballot, and was elected. The joke at the time was that while in NJ it was common for dead people to vote, it was the first time that dead people elected a dead man.
Marv
Working, working, working. I have been dealing with FINRA over a proposed business expansion. They are being totally unreasonable yet I have to bite my tongue since they have all the power.
Actually, MD, I’ve said previously I had the results backward: Deeds goes down in a half hour while Corzine gets to delay the inevitable for a little while.
What did Bush do for reproductive rights ?
heh
You’re referring to the 2000 Missouri Senate race, Jason, between Ashcroft and Carnahan.
“Any polling on uterus rights lately?”
heh heh
So, eph, have you started a Draft Salvi for Senate–Again petition?
I’m waiting to hear back from Gary as to whether or not I need to stay away from his uterus too. I’ll update my checklist when i hear back from him.
I have board a plane in 10 minutes. I’ll be back tonight while having dinner at my favorite restaurant in Toronto.
“Totally destructive on the part of Republicans. Attack Obama’s policies. Attack his naivete, inexperience. But nobody knows what is in his heart or mind.”
I beg to differ. The vision Obama has for America and the kind of society he wants to implement are directly related to his feelings about the country. The more people are convinced that his America is not the America the majority of the people want is central to defeating his agenda.
I don’t assign good or bad, or evil or not evil to his feelings, even right or wrong or good or bad intentions. But I am convinced his America is very different from my America.

Stimulating Competition: Candidate for New Jersey Assembly Hosts Sex Toy Parties for Living
Posted by Michael Avitablile
Published: October 20, 2009 – 1:27 PM
Well, there are hundreds of pseudo-double speak that I could use to begin this story, but I guess I won’t… Jumping in Pools and the New York Daily News are reporting that Stefanie Velez-Gentry, a Republican candidate for the New Jersey state Assembly “makes a living hosting sex-toy parties.”
From the Daily News:
One campaign for the New Jersey Legislature is off to an arousing start.
Stepfanie Velez-Gentry, a Republican from Bellmawr running for state Assembly, makes a living hosting sex- toy parties.
As the owner of Nookie Parties, she organizes gatherings for women and couples in which she sells sex toys, lotions, games, lingerie and other erotic items.
“It’s kind of like a Tupperware party, but with adult novelties,” the 29-year-old mother of two said.
Finally, New Jersey will get some help to lift up its economy!
118…nobody except those who have read his book where he tells us what is in his heart and mind.
TimV,
I have added you to the “do not touch” uterus list.
Election night CNN
“With 91% of the precincts in, McDonell is presently ahead by approximately a 56-44 percent margin. The Republican is clinging to a razor thin 300,000 vote margin and our election desk continues to say this race is too close to call.”
I’ll predict Ras has Christie +2, 45-43-10.
The flight attendant on this plane is a class A bit@h.

LOL! You will be a prophet I dare say.
She has now yelled at 10 people. I will have shut down lest I be yelled at as well.
“Totally destructive on the part of Republicans.”
Really it seems like PPP is trying to stir up trouble. In those polls PPP has talking points looking for data. All they had to do is come up with two people thinking Obama hates America or that he is not a citizen and they would have a headline reading “Polling shows Republicans thinking Obama is a foreign citizen that hates America”. Technically that would be true, wouldn’t it. Last weeks twitter leaks should discredit any analysis done by PPP. It is quite obvious that they go for the headline grabbing and the provocative in what they say. If they are accurate in years that D’s don’t do so well, maybe I will take a look at their polling for candidates, until then PPP is a Dem mouthpiece.
Ras prediction – Christie +2.

CNN Election night:
The Democtrats have retained the White House based on the projected exit polling in Florida, even though the polls have not yet closed in the panhandle.
–oh wait…they actually did that one in 2000.
There won’t be any official exit polling from NJ. The state supreme court ruled that it was illegal.
#157 so is voter fraud, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
Ok then. “we project Governor Corzine the winner based on the fact that we’re totally in the tank”
They might as well just cut to the chase.
Brandon,
Does RAS release his state polls on the Premium page earlier than 5pm?
#160. Nope.
“Benefiting from a 15 minute campaign stop by popular President Obama that turned his campaign around, Corzine has won a comfortable victory by 5,000 votes over his Republican rival, beset by weight problems throughout his campaign”.
“Ignoring warnings from many economists that higher taxes are urgently needed and pleas from women and minority groups that his election will set race and gender and sexual relations back a hundred years in VA, voters elected Bob McDonnell in a close race 55-45%”.
I’m guessing Christie by 2… And the moves of votes from Daggett to Christie neutralizes the election fraud, and Christie by 2 is where we end up… And McDonnell by 10-12 in Virginia, with similar results for the other two races in Virginia.
#154–
Do you really think CNN will wait until the polls actually close?
The GOP will then have a bench. Either Bolling or Cuccinelli will be able to challenge Webb in 2012, and probably win.
C’mon guys, how many of you are part of that 48%?
I’m a proud member of that group. I suspect Obama’s overall percentage regarding “love his country” is 55%.
His approval/disapproval looks to be 49-50% in this month’s PPP poll.
Look at the deep red counties in NJ. They are small and will come in early. We will know how well Daggett is doing then.
I will make a prediction, betting several of Skippy’s broken promises that Palin’s appearance on Oprah will break the ratings record. And blow right past whatever the mark is held by Obama’s appearances.
CNN might actually wait until the Newark graveyard vote is actually counted.
RAS: CC +5
(my guess)
169….exactly why Christie cannot mathematically win by 2%. If its that close the dead will be called upon to do their job and push corzine over the top, as the heavily Dem districts hold back until the end so they know what they need. At that point if Christie is up 5 points, they will say, forget it, and Christie wins by that much. If he is up only 2%, then Corizine will win by <500 votes.

Phil, last weekend I watched all the Disney channel and Nickleodeon shows with my kids, and I was astounded by one common thing.
The White Boy is always the Idiot in every show. the Girls and minority kids are always super smart and cool, but the White Boy is the fool.
Hopefully with McDonnel on the verge of a blowout, the Beltway RNC can use their brains and shift some big $$$ towards Christie.
