Governor poll

Didn't catch the TV news last night, but it's been brought to my attention that WCAX polled on the gubernatorial election.

The results:

53 percent say they support Douglas-- 22 percent would vote for Democrat Peter
Galbraith-- and 15 percent for Progressive Anthony Pollina. 10 percent are still
unsure.

"This is a strong position for an incumbent governor to be in,"
says Middlebury College Political Scientist Eric Davis.

What's
interesting Davis says, is that Democrat Peter Galbraith leads Progressive
Anthony Pollina by 7 percentage points-- even though Galbraith is not officially
in the race yet.

"What these numbers say to me is there is not a great
deal of enthusiasm among Democrats to have Anthony Pollina be the only one
running against Jim Douglas this fall," says Davis.
"In some ways you might
argue that people like an underdog who is willing to tell them the truth,"
Pollina said at a press conference this week.

The Vermont Democratic Party is taking that as good news.

Could it now be any clearer to Tony, who has now run in at least three statewide elections and lost in every one of them, that the vast majority of Vermonters do not want him to hold high office? Try state rep. Try state senate.
 
"vast majority of Vermonters do not want him"

That's a mighty big leap to make, considering this is a WCAX poll. Most Vermonters know they are in bed with the GOP. They probably phoned 400 people gleaned from the GOP's voting rolls.

Don't know the methodology of the poll either. Guessing it's not exact science, given it's CAX.
 
Forget the WCAX poll if you want and focus on the real polls the voters take part in every election day........ Tony the Commie is loser even in left wing Vermont.
 
Awesome! Our strategy of having someone lend his name for the party is working. Who cares if two more years go by. If we're lucky, in two years Douglas will retire and then we can bravely stand up for VErmonters by offering a candidate. Just be patient. We'll rescue you in two years. You can wait, can't you? --VDP
 
If you are satisfied with Douglas, you have low expectations. It's too bad that there really is no viable way for another republican to run against Douglas.
 
Wasn't Hillary once leading in early polls? Or Giuliani, for that matter?
 
Giuliwho?
 
Let me see - in most of the United States, Vermont's delegation of the three Stooges is a laughing stock - and jw votes for them! Eureka, I think we've hit on something, Watson!
 
"Don't know the methodology of the poll either"

But you're willing to accuse it of being rigged.

Gotta love it.

Nice try, little always trying to change the subject fella.

First things first.

I'll disarm, kick back, have a few laughs and hang with humanity just as soon as I'm done dealin' with the factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, coalition of the clueless cretin likes of you and the little bigot boy.

Like Grandma said, "The best way to save the world is to never put off for tomorrow the nameless neo-nazi nitwit you can nuke today. If you can do that, you will have become a truly Righteous Brother."

Besides, if ya play your cards right, there might be some chocolate chip cookies in for ya, too.

Really? So, little factually-challenged and fundamentally-dishonest fella, if the Martin Family had a long, well-documented history of contributing generously to the Vermont Democratic Party along with an incident or two displaying some rather questionable editorial judgement along the way, you'd have no problem with that, eh?

That's what I thought.

Dismissed.

Gee, little factually-challenged and fundamentally-dishonest fella, if I've said or done anything that would lead you or any other nameless nitwit to believe that I have ever been, am now or have future plans to be in the market for factually-challenged and fundamentally-dishonest nameless-nitwit friends, you have my deepest and most profound apologies.

I assure you, nothing could be further from the truth.

Nice talkin' to ya.
 
"if the Martin Family had a long, well-documented history of contributing generously to the Vermont Democratic Party along with an incident or two displaying some rather questionable editorial judgement along the way, you'd have no problem with that, eh?"

And this proves that the poll in question was rigged or flawed . . . how, little unable-to-reason, dumb, psychotic little fella?

Nah, she loved people. She just didn't have any use for factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, neo-nazi, nameless-nitwit slime who make specious allegations they can't substantiate.

That, of course, leaves the lyin'-slime likes of your ignorant ass pretty well cheneyed, little dyspeptic douche bag fella, but she loved people.

Always a pleasure.

Yawn. Actually he said nothing of any value.
 
amen. stop reading his posts.
 
Did Grandma teach you your vocabulary JW?

I can see her now sitting on her front porch whittlin' on a stick with the little fella, JW, on her knee and Grannie saying: "JW always remember I am counting on you to carry on the COOP tradition of whippin' those neo-nazi nitwits and if you don't, I'll whip your lyin'-slime of an ignorant ass leavin' it pretty well cheneyed, little dyspeptic douche bag fella."

Grandma was a sweet talker.

Always with the tryin' to change the subject, little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest fella.

I'm talkin' to your ignorant, anonymous ass. What's humanity got to do with it?

Nice talkin' to ya.
 
Yawn!
 
"factually-challenged" is incorrect grammar.
 
"factually-challenged" is incorrect grammar."

It is, eh? I'll say this much for ya, little coalition of the clueless cretin fella, if nothing else, you've certainly established your credentials as a veritable energizer bunny of ignorance and specious allegations you can't substantiate, little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest nameless-nitwit fella.

Don't let anybody tell ya different, little fella.

Rest assured, I'll be in your corner if they do.

Moreover, I'll be more than happy to write you a letter of recommendation for any lunatic-fringe nonsense-spewing employment opportunities you seek in the future.

Always a pleasure.
 
And what might YOUR line of employment be, jw?

"And what might YOUR line of employment be, jw?"

Not pickin' up fraudulent free enterprise failures on my way to PT as they're hitchhiking their way to the unemployment office when their moms won't give them advances on their paper route money certainly is keepin' me busy these days.

Then, of course, there's my trust-fund duties. They can certainly be quite taxing at times. You know the drill.

But enough about me, let's talk about you, little fella.
So, now that your paper route period has predictably ended poorly, what's on-tap for you, little bigot boy?

Ya gonna get your GED now or are ya gonna tell the State to stuff it and wait 'til you're off probation?

Will they let ya join the Army then or have ya still got other hoops to jump through, little fella?

Keep your chin up, Given their recruiting troubles, I'm sure they'll have to lower the bar for the likes of you soon enough.

They're gonna have to.

Always a pleasure.
 
So basically, you are a deadbeat living off the taxpayers, correct?

"on my way to PT"

On his way to the outpatient mental health clinic, he means.
 
I'm sure jw is just another flatlander piece of trash that headed north years ago to find the promised land of free this, free that. Who would you guess pays for his "PT"? Oh yeah, all of you working stiffs he regales every day with "shmuck", "bupkis", "neo-nazi", etc. For every one of you that didn't vote over the years, or thought it was a good idea to elect some libs, jw is what you get for your good intentions! Live with it.
 
So, I take it you're not one of the working stiffs you evidently blame for Vermont's failure to buy your into your ignorant, white supremacist slop/take back Vermont trash agenda, little fella.

You do realize that one actually has to vote for something or someone in order for that cause or that person to prevail at the ballot box and mere failure to get off ones duff and vote is not sufficient in and of itself to determine the outcome, don't ya, little failure at free enterprise/ blame everyone else for their failures/ deadwood drain on the State of Vermont fella?

Armed with that information, one can see why you'd be drawn to the deadbeat-daddy party.

Live with that, little fraudulent fella.
 
Yawn..... do you have ANYTHING to offer. No. That's what I thought.

Please be gone little man. You are boring.
 
Always a pleasure, Senor Bupkis.

Always a pleasure.
 
"Please be gone little man..." Who's living in mom's basement? Join the modern world.
 
JW has a job!!!
His mom got him a paper route, he delivers Seven Daze to the toasted hippies in downtown Burlington

Actaullty his mom drives him around so he won't get accosted
