Foley Case Destroying Repub Chances

OK I am once again waving the Bullshit Flag.

Sorry, this is having no effect outside of the beltway, or on sites like FR where the sky is falling crowd always freaks out at the least little thing.

Here are the results of my poll. I have talked to over 30 people so far this week (Family, coworkers, friends) -- all of these people are intelligent and INFORMED professionals, most in the US Air Force, Computer Information Industry or Medical..

The results of said informal poll :
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAD HEARD OF OR KNEW WHO MARK FOLEY WAS! NONE! ZERO! ZIP! NOT A SAUSAGE!

WHen I explained what was happening every single one of them had a reaction of "SO?", and if they did have a comment it was on the lines of "HE resigned? Good. Glad he wasn;t my congressman"

IOW - Out here in the HEART of REDSTATE AMERICA this is having absolutely no effect what-so-ever.

My mother is not a well-informed professional, but she was tut-tutting it and started asking me if I'd seen it, if I had heard about it. She doesn't know the details and isn't really interested in them, all she knew was what she picked up in passing off the tv and thought it was "awful". I am sure that she and her sisters are tut-tutting about it when they talk. Sigh. It's not whether this is going to have a big effect on attitudes....it has. The question is how much will still be lingering in a month.

I agree that this story is not a vote changer. The big drop in gasoline prices is a much bigger issue to 95% of the voters. This is either hype or disinformation being given to Fox.

You don't have an extra one of those, do you? I need one to wave, too.
