If someone is going to reference something growing out of another event that is buried on page 47 of this thread, they need to manifest that and not let it be confusing or vague. Or you could just pay attention to the details of the news you are commenting about... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It affects Manchin, of course, but it doesn’t really apply to all women nationally. Edited September 29, 2018 by Starkiller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this is the most pro trump state in the union. The results are skewed. wv has never been used as a barometer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results are skewed. wv has never been used as a barometer. The result are also probably related to the source of the poll. From Wikipedia: Public Opinion Strategies (POS) describes itself as a "Republican polling firm". It has offices in Virginia, Colorado and California. "IRI's annual reports for 2003 and 2004 include among their lists of volunters a significant number of Republican pollsters, consultants, strategists, public opinion researchers, and campaign website designers, some of whom have come under fire for unethical practices. "For example, Rob Autry and Gene Ulm are with Public Opinion Strategies, the largest Republican polling firm. POS was responsible for the "Harry and Louise" ad in the early 90's that scuttled Clinton's health insurance proposals. In 2001, it was charged with violating Virginia's polling disclosure laws, and it has also been accused of using push polls to influence elections."

Popular Post begooode Posted September 29, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 If it weren’t for Lindsey Graham they’d be starting all over again, imo. Simply put Kavanaugh’s responses were weak and evasive. This is a great breakdown of what took place when you strip away the theatrics. Beyond the style of their testimonies, there was a striking difference in the content of their words. Both Ford and Kavanaugh fielded questions from senators and the prosecutor hired by Republicans, Rachel Mitchell. But only Ford made an effort to answer every single question. Kavanaugh actively dodged questions. He often repeated the same non-answer over and over. Other times, he insisted on answering a question with “context” — which inevitably was a long story about his childhood — but never actually answered the question. We went through the transcript of the hearing and noted every single time a question was asked of Ford and Kavanaugh. (We didn’t include the times a questioner didn’t ask an explicit question.) Then we noted every instance in which answered the question or said they didn’t know the answer — and we also noted every time they either refused to answer or gave an answer that didn’t address the question.
