do you really think Buck’s campaign knows how to figure the time difference?
I believe that.
Someone who can’t tell time.
Jeez.
Did they seriously give that excuse?
Did Bennet get to appear by himself? Did the Today show at least have some fun with the “scheduling conflict” claim?
but aside from the first debate he has seemed totally lost when debating Bennet. That look on his face with the doughnut hole question was priceless.
Did Bennet at least fill the slot?
Runneth over, did the Tea Party’s cup,
Until Bennet began bouncing back up;
Each time Buck opened his mouth,
His polling numbers went South,
Until at last, they shut the Buck up.
Buck can’t talk any Today
5 am eye appointment
Making H-Man boil
I do think you have
Broken the rules of HaiKu
But message on spot
Since elementary school
Bucking syllables
It must have come back to you. I counted on my fingers to make sure it was correct. 🙂
So if Buck wins, that phrase will enter the lore of proven political consultant wisdom.
If he loses, it will simply enter the common slang as a term for justifiable derision.
The real problem is if this loose-lipped, intellectual flyweight actually makes it into the Senate, those guys will make him a laughingstock, and Coloradans will be the ones paying the price.
He was Buckpedaling 100 mph.
Bennet had a great week.
Buck had a horrible week.
In fact, I am sure he lost the election this week. (didn’t I see three seperate polls this week each showing Buck ahead?)
I have a feeling you will be eating those words as soon as Sunday. I think the newspaper that can not be mentioned might be printing the results of a new poll taken this week.
If you are right, Bennet would be ahead, right?
If he is not ahead, then you must be mistaken, right?
I can’t wait to see what the new poll says. I have a pretty good idea what it is going to show and I am already working on a diary. Keep up the insightful comments.
See, we can all do that.
Keep up your insightful comments.
Bennet internal polling is very positive. More than having a “pretty good idea” I know what that is showing. I have mentioned it before but their internal polling was way more accurate for the primary.
Micahel is not takign anything for granted but they are encouraged.
Because that is not what all the other polls are showing.
His internal polling was much more accurate than the polls that showed Romanoff winning. Another cute thing about Buck. his spokesman complains that he keeps getting asked gotcha questions instead of questions on what he wants to talk about: Jobs, jobs, jobs. Then why aren’t jobs among the 11 top priorities listed on his website and why should reporters be clamoring to ask him about something that isn’t even in his top 10?
how cutting the deficit creates jobs.
TeaBag rhetoric aside, what is the proven economic model that shows how any Republican proposal increases hiring?
Everybody know that facts have liberal bias.
Just drink the KoolAid and MSU.
PPP had Bennet/Buck at 46/43 before the primary and 46/45 two weeks ago. Little has changed.
So I guess I don’t really care what the other polls are showing because PPP’s results have been consistent over a 2-month period. Their next Colorado poll will be out next week.
The race will be won on election day, not any sooner.
The first PPP (rated D at Real Clear Politics, as in not independent but Democrat leaning) was a registered not likely voter poll. Bennet is ahead with people that are not going to vote.
The second PPP poll which showed Buck down by 1% under their likely voter model was completed three weeks ago has been followed by four seperate polls showing Buck +5, Buck +2, Buck +1 and most recently Buck +3. Check out the Poll that will come out shortly at the DP which I suspect will also show Buck winning outside the margin of error.
Unless PPP wants to confirm their lack of credibility like their predecessor at Daily Kos who have admitted to fraud in their polling, they will change their likely voter model in their poll next week and you will see Buck is ahead there as well.
The Buckpedaler can’t be seen in public anymore – he doesn’t say anything at his arranged appearances, he can’t be allowed to say anything at neutral sites, and and now he can’t face his opponent and say his insane ideas where they’ll be challenged.
Con-men do this all the time – the grift is laid out, so you can’t do anything to screw up the con before the suckers bite on it.
If he wants to be a US Senator and debate the issues on our behalf with his party and against the Dems, he needs to “man-up” (GOP Nevada line) and drag his lying, con-man ass up to the mike and face his opponent.
If he’s afraid to say something, then that’s a pretty good indication that he’s incapable of representing Colorado in the US Senate.
’nuff said.
Bennet had been invited, but didn’t show up. Bennet must be a coward as well as a con-man?
But more importantly, Bennet has never been afraid to speak in public. His events, neutral debates, impromptu interviews, and even softball national appearances on the Today Show.
Buck accepted, wet his pants realizing that both the reporters and Bennet were going to pummel him with questions about his various nutjob statements.
Realizing this, he fled into the morning air and is in hiding somewhere, terrified someone is going to show up with a microphone and a camera. THAT’S someone I want representing me in the Senate!
It’s less than two week before the election, Shill-man. Is Buck going to post some policy on Veterans, esp his never-ending flip-flop on privatizing the VA? ANY Vet issues?
Why are you bothering with sense? You could use that reasoning on a squirrel and the results the same – a run up a tree to ignore you before randomly jumping to another tree.
Cavuto vs. Today show. Same thing right? Oh sorry you are right I forgot “fair and balanced.”
Was from responses that came last week. That would be before Buck had his terrible week of press. Do you really not understand this?
Maybe we’re wrong, and maybe Buck hasn’t been hurt by the events of the last week. But there is no currently available poll that would indicate one way or the other.
with anything on subject. He’ll just skip to the next talking point.
I really need to go on the H-Man 12 step program and save myself.
as part of your “Buyer’s Remorse” tv spot diary?
…which may have captured some reaction from Buck’s Sunday “Buyers alcoholic remorse” moment. The Reuter’s Ipsos post polled through Sunday. That poll showed Buck up 3 but 6 points worse than their last poll. I would be shocked if 10% of the people polled on Sunday had watched meet the press and as it was a 3 day poll I am guessing it had been a non-issue in polling so far.
it’s not only ‘old’ people like you who don’t have landlines. I’ve got 16 years on you and haven’t had one for 5 years.
Fortunately, the callcenters haven’t found my 970 cell # yet; I’ve only had 3 robocalls this entire 2010 cycle.. 🙂
I turned 40 this year and I do not have a hard line. I do have Vonage but never answer my home phone. I know that if anyone wants me they know my cell. I have heard people say that public polling today misses most people under 30. They also miss more and more old people like me.
You have, perhaps, days ahead of you. Days, I say.
But what you say is wise beyond even your old age.
Partly because the methodology is fool proof, partly because they just are. Mostly, because no one, ever lied to a pollster.
Ever.
is “projection.” It’s a delusional defense mechanism when reality is just too hard to face. Seek help.
He’s annoying enough all by himself.
it’s wrong and biased? Didn’t think so.
We are just delusional wishful thinkers. And if wishes were horses…
No one is going to “break” or switch or do whatever needs doing for Bennet to win. You know it. Most of the R’s know it. Buck knows it. All the smart posters here know it.
Your work is done. All the votes that matter are cast. It’s raining now, that’s good. If it snows hard before 11/2, your guy is into double digits.
that the GOTV networks that Democrats built in 2008 didn’t suddenly go away. The Tea Party fringe have been getting all the press but the grassroots organizations that Democrats put together and trained in 2008 are still in existence. I can tell you that in my little county the local Democratic organization is better than at the start of 2008.
While you have been spending all your time sitting on your bony ass sifting through the polls to convince yourself that Buck is pulling away, Democrats have been quietly engaged in GOTV efforts and will be chasing every vote until the 7pm November 2nd. This is the little fact as to why Buck needed to be way out in front going into the last week. Democratic networks are smooth running operations at this point and Democrats are going to turn out for this election.
The fact that Republicans have got to shut the Buck up is a clear indicator that the guy has run a really mediocre campaign and could get smoked at the finish. The Buck campaign has been a series of stupid and unnecessary blunders by someone who isn’t ready for prime time.
Now back to your regular trumpeting of how invincible your guy is while the Democrats continue to go about contacting voters and discussing the issues with them.
