Why does Burr have such poor numbers? Should we replace him with a strong GOPer if he’s a RINO?

I live in NC and let me talk about the pollster Tom Jensen. He is one among the reasons, McCain lost North Carolina. Till last 4 weeks, McCain was ahead by 3 to 5 points. This guy consistently released polls on the presidential elections and everytime he appeared on the big triangle radio market to brag about the closeness of the race. Also, it looks like, he was responsible for making Obama campaign move the resources from Georgia to North carolina. In addition to it, he collaborated with Democratic national committee to spend million on thrashing Dole. She did not respond quickly and it is another story.

Now, Tom jensen is setting the stage for the next election. He is trying to influence the election by encouraging the Democratic National Committee to again spend millions to win this senate race.

I have already written a letter to Senator Burr after the georgia special election and gave him all my analysis of the way to win the state. It can be done if we can reduce the voter margin in couple of strong democratic counties. Never in North Carolina, we will have the same turn out like 2008 presidential election. Blacks will not come out in huge numbers for a white guy like cooper.

Recall that McCain was up by double digits in two different polls from two different groups after the convention, then PPP started with their string of polls that suddenly showed a tight race. In fairness however, their last poll was pretty close to the results, and other pollsters, including the conservative Civitas Institute, were showing the same numbers as PPP along the way.

The only thing I’d question is the sudden drop that PPP showed directly after McCain showed a big lead.

What is it that convinces you that Jensen had some part in Obama’s moving his resources from GA to NC?
