Funny, though, that Democrats win precisely because they assume the voters are idiots, and treat them that way. That’s how Julia won all those years…don’t worry about a think, Aunt Julia will take care of it for you.

Cradle to grave bullsh*t. It’s not that we call voters idiots, it’s that we’d like them to learn to think and act for themselves, instead of letting politicians do their thinking and acting for them — the latter being precisely what Democrats like Wilson would prefer.

You tend to lose at elections when you call the voters idiots – but that’s your problem, isn’t it?

Wilson,
Don’t forget a lot of the Idiots in the 7th are the same people who re-elected Monroe Gray better known as Sweet Pea!

That’s a lot of ignorance in the 7th for Elrod to overcome.

Peterson indeed “won” in the precincts of the 7th District: 54 to 44.

Remember that the “Polls” had Bart Peterson winning the Mayor’race. If I remember the “polls” had Kerry winning over Bush. So much for the polls.

Moneyguy,
-
The reason that the UK is right up their with the US is because they also have private banks who have complete control of their treasury.

They’re being robbed blind, just like us.

The poll was taken Feb. 16-17 before many voters received the material.

It’s interesting that Elrod is down at 36% – no GOP challenger to Julia Carson ever was so low!

It seems strange – with all of the TV Ads and flyers and DCCC support and the name recognition Andre is only at 54% ?

So, let me get this correct: Brian Howey, who’s right about All Things Political about 25% of the time, conducts a poll…of 500 statewide voters, 300 in the 7th…

Surely, Abdul, you have something wrong here. If 60% of a statewide poll’s respondents are in one CD, the entire poll is askew.

And if you’ve been putting your ear to the ground, you know that Andre is nowhere near busting 50% yet. I think he’s ahead, but he’s not that far ahead.

Sometimes, polls are as smart as their operators. Howey—what a joke.
