Dem polls show recall with double-digit lead

Everybody knows that candidates who are leading in the polls don't challenge their opponents to debate. So Gray's challenge to Arnold is a tip-off: the gov's momentum has slowed and he is in trouble, just a week and a weekend before the election. How much trouble?

[rftc]

Im guessing the plus 5 number is within margin for error still, better to keep grinding it out

looks like the dems and their allies in the McClinton camp are failing to stop arnold...

If he pulls this off, Arnold will have defeated three anti-republican candidates:
Gray, Busty, Mcclinton

[rftc]

What McClintock is doing is traitorious.

Read you like a Clinton Transcript when you inserted falsehoods into the article on this pulled thread, shill.

You appear to have some issues yourself.

And Arianna Huffington to boot!

What McClintock is doing is traitorious.

Actually, what McC is doing is entrepreneurial. Most FReepers recognize and applaud individual initiative and enterprise.

McC is taking advantage of the public's interest in the recall election to build-up and develop his post-public office career.

Who here would deny themselves the benefits of self-employment if given the chance? Why should Tom not enjoy the fruits of his labor as well?

I betcha if someone did a search on recent corporate filings, they'd find a McC related non-profit organization just waiting to gear up on the 8th.

You don't think by having Busta LEADING BY ONE POINT in polls going into the last week of the campaign because of your man is enough for him to quit?

[rftc]

The LA Times emptied out the dirt closet this weekend, there is nothing on Arnold-time for McClintock to get out!

Cruz is not leading, my man is Arnold and you lie to get your "point" across.

What exactly are you doing here, newbie?

WoW! Got caught there, eh ST?

You folks should try sticking to the facts for a change. It could save you future embarrassment.

Just a thought.

[rftc]

Play time is over, McClintock needs to get out now.

[Redbob]

Don't be putting too much reliance on "weekend" polls which are ntoriously inaccurate.
The pollsters only get answers from those who hang around the house on weekends.

[rftc]

In one internal poll Arnold is leading by five, in the other he is trailing or tied.

Why not post the articles as written...... No need to cut/paste selected portions except for the sources prescribed in the Court settlement.....

Dem polls show recall with double-digit lead

Everybody knows that candidates who are leading in the polls don't challenge their opponents to debate. So Gray's challenge to Arnold is a tip-off: the gov's momentum has slowed and he is in trouble, just a week and a weekend before the election. How much trouble?

My sources tell me that two Democratic polls, including one by the California Teachers Assn., show the recall leading 54-40 and 54-41. That's a lot of ground to make-up, even if you subscribe to the wisdom that Davis needs only to shave the 54 down to 49.9, which is true but makes the task seem somewhat easier than it is.

The race to replace in one of the Democratic polls is even between Cruz and Arnold at 30-29, with McClintock at 18. The CTA poll, I am told, has Arnold opening up a five-point lead at 31-26, with McClintock at 15. Still a ton of undecided voters out there.

Saber didn't alter anything, rftc did, I saw it.
Lying shills from both sides are plentiful.
