NY Times looking for any ray of sunshine in the storm about to hit the Democrat Party.

I suspect this is kind of a reverse “bounce” for his Democratic opponent. Because of the nastiness and severity of the primary, Roberts suffered a bit in the polls. Some feelings are still raw there. The Rasmussen poll the Times cites for their conclusion has an undecided/third party opinion of 14%. Again, this is a lot of raw feeling that will probably evaporate towards Roberts come early October.

The other poll the Times cited is actually from before the primary was over. So it’s disingenuous (or sloppy, or outright devious) of them to cite that poll to support their claim for Robert’s vulnerability. If anything, that poll proves my case above even more.

But never let a good spin go to waste, Ol’ Gray Lady, keep up the “good” work.

If the idiot party (the GOP) is not on the watch for MASSIVE fraud this november we are screwed.

The libtards know they will lose all the gains they have made if they are out of power, and they are going all out

In the NY Times, 5 points is a commanding lead for a Democrat and a razor thin advantage for a Republican.

The anti-incumbent trend is strong, but come closer to election day, the talk will shift to issues. The voters will come to realize that the vast majority of programs and failures that are pissing them off are coming from the Democrats and will shift accordingly.

The NY Times will accurately predict the Democrat bloodbath three of four days after the election is held. Then their focus will shift to shaming Republicans into not doing what they were elected to do.

There’s an independent candidate siphoning off votes from both candidates. That’s why it’s as close as it is.
