Abandon Ship!!!! Muffy Going Down In Flames!!! Pack Up And Head To New Hampshire!!!!

J

JellyFish

I was listening to Howie Carr tonight and he was talking about THREE different polls that have Muffy down almost 30 points behind Free-Em-All-Deval!!!! Almost 30 freaking points!!!!!

It's over folks. Muffy is going down in flames and I see NO WAY in two weeks that she can pull it out.

Deval Patrick will be the next governor of Taxachusetts!!!!!!

PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET OUT NOW BEFORE SPEND-IT-ALL-DEVAL PUTS ARMED GUARDS AT THE BORDER OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO STOP YOU FROM LEAVING!!!!!!! FLEE!!!! FLEE NOW BEFORE THE DIVERSITY POLICE ARREST YOU AND TAKE YOU TO THE REEDUCATION CAMPS!!!!!!! [rofl]
 
You are all welcome up here as long as you promise to help keep the liberals out [smile]
 
OUCH!

Remember, it's not who answers the polls (where we don't know the methodology), it's who VOTES that counts!

Get out and vote!
 
Looking at it from a purely selfish point of view... If Deval gets in, Prop 2 1/2 may go down the crapper which means more money for raises and binding arbitration comes back. Hopefully he'll pander to the Govt employee unions and we'll get 75% retirement for 25yrs of service.
Property values will go down and taxes up. I'll finish off my last few years and we'll get the hell out of here.
 
Back in high school there was one young man whose dream job (at the time anyway) was to be a garbage man in Florida. Outside during the day, the weather is nice, and the pay wasn't too bad. I remember thinking that was a waste (no pun intended), to spent you day collecting trash. Now that I'm older I kind of wish I did that instead of staying in MA.

I think I'll go check jobsinfl.com and see what is posted.
 
One party rule again, hang on to your wallets and gun rights its going to be 4 long years for all of us.
 
Three words:

curios & relics, and:

God forbid prop 2 1/2 should survive, the people of this state should have no say on how much high their property taxes should be, they should just shut the F up and do what the government employee unions tell them to do.[angry]
of course the first group to have a whack at that cash cow will be the f***ing socialist of the MTA. By the time they get through with us there will be no money for anyone else anyway.
This giddy anticipation of the coming gang rape of the taxpayers is one reason for the continued disgust with all things goverment, both elected and employees
 
I was looking at a CCW map the other day:
Avoid the Eastern Seaboard from MA to DE.
Skip CA, IL, WI*

Everywhere else, you're golden!

I got a call for an interview from VA today...

(*oops, thanks Jose)

Ya I saw that on the news today, I think her negitive adds killed her, plus I'm on the "do not call" phone list (I no that is limited), I've lost count of the phone calls saying please vote for me, not one from Doval or Milos.

I don't no about you all but nothing pi$$es me off more than those kind of calls, that could have killed her also.
 
Pressure’s on Lt. Gov. to come out swinging: Troubled Republican faces tough test in debate tonight
By Kimberly Atkins

Pollsters playing the Grim Reaper are hounding Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey as she steps onto the TV debate stage tonight, struggling to resuscitate her ailing campaign for governor amid warnings to tone down the negative attacks.
Tonight’s CBS4 7 p.m. showdown with Deval Patrick will show whether Healey will stick with the strategy of negative attacks that two new polls indicate have instead sent shrapnel flying her way.
Polls conducted by SurveyUSA for CBS4 and Suffolk University for 7NEWS make one thing clear - Healey’s camp appears to have hurt her own bid with TV ads scoring Patrick for supporting convicted rapist Ben LeGuer, including one showing a woman being stalked in a parking garage.
“She came out with the ads supposedly to get support from women who were concerned about personal safety and their kids’ safety,” said Carol Hardy-Fanta, director of the nonpartisan Center for Women in Politics and Public Policy at the University of Massachusetts at Boston. “They seem to have backfired quite severely.”
With her unfavorability ratings at an all-time high and Patrick reopening a wide 25 to 27 percent lead in the polls, Healey has less than two weeks to redefine herself.
Pundits say she should emphasize her own attributes, but her campaign yesterday said she will “pose direct questions to Deval Patrick every day to force him to tell voters where he stands on important issues.” She continues to push for a one-on-one debate, an offer Patrick rejected.
But in the Suffolk/7News poll, 61 percent of voters said the recent tone of her campaign made them less likely to vote for her. More than 53 percent of voters now view her unfavorably. Patrick has just a 24 percent unfavorable rating.
“Massachusetts voters were pushed to the limit,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center, in a statement about the new survey. “The negative tone by Kerry Healey was overkill. ”
Patrick, conversely, has effectively promoted himself while linking Healey to another pol with sagging poll numbers, Gov. Mitt Romney.
“The Democrats have done a good job of hanging the criticism of the Romney administration around Healey’s neck,” said Republican strategist Jason Kauppi.
Healey’s campaign did, however, unveil a new upbeat TV ad touting her plans for pension reform, veteran aid, holding the line on property taxes and blocking illegal immigrants from in-state college tuition and from obtaining driver’s license
 
Polls: Healey trailing by wide margin
By Kimberly Atkins

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

Democrat Deval Patrick has again opened a wide lead in the race for governor over Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey, movement apparently driven by a sharp backlash against a series of negative ads run by her campaign, according to two polls released yesterday.
A 7NEWS/Suffolk University poll showed Patrick with a 27 percent lead among likely voters, pulling in 53 percent over Healey’s 27 percent with just 11 percent still undecided.
Independent candidate Christy Mihos had 9 percent of voters’ support, while Green-Rainbow candidate Grace Ross had 2 percent.
Meanwhile, a CBS4 Fast Track/SurveyUSA poll showed Patrick with a 25-point margin - 56 percent to Healey’s 31 percent, followed by Mihos with 8 percent and and Ross with 2 percent. According to that poll, 4 percent of voters remain undecided as the Nov. 7 election looms.
Most notable is the reaction by voters to ads run by Healey’s campaign, including one showing a woman walking in fear in a shadowy parking garage and describing Patrick’s praise of convicted rapist Benjamin LaGuer.
According to the Suffolk poll, 61 percent of voters said the tone of the ads made them less likely to vote for Healey, and her unfavorable numbers were at an all-time high of 53 percent.
As recently as Oct. 12, polls showed Healey had closed in on Patrick’s massive lead, narrowing the gap to as close as 13 percent.
 
I don't know whether she'll win or lose. I'm not a soothsayer.

However, as someone who owns a marketing firm, and does frequent surveys, I will say that 1) 400 people doesn't necessarily tell you much - it's which 400 people you ask! 2) I have zero confidence that Suffolk University and Channel 7 asked unbiased people, unbiased or leading questions.

Polls are polls.

They can be skewed VERY easily to drive the results that you want to get out there into the news.

Many times, pollsters try and get out info. to prop up the candidate they support by telling the other candidate's supporters that; "there's no hope - don't even show up to vote."

This can backfire if we all show up!

I agree 100% with the above. They will skew it on purpose to keep right wingers at home on voting day and also to help the "un-decided" ones go with the majority. I don't believe those left wing surveys one bit...

They said the same thing with John Kerry in the presidential election, touting "Stay home, Kerry already has won your state" NOT
 
One thing this could do is finally get all those Mihos supporters to realized that if they dont go for Healey... then it will be Deval in Jan.

Or it could simply have them say "doesnt matter eitherway now"

I have started to prepare myself for a Patrick and Coakley win... I will continue to support Healey and Frisoli and do my part... but I am not clinging to hope at this point.

I'd prefer to be "Suprised" when I wake up on Nov 8th then disappointed.
 
Well I haven't given up the point where I won't vote. I will always vote regardless of what the polls say.

But the Poodle is circling the bowl, Derek. I wish her well but do not be too disappointed when she is flushed.

For Jellyfish and the others who have already given up. This link is from a local blog for Fitchburg and Leominster. It is extremely liberal and is moderated by a left winger. Yet so far it's 75% for Healey...

Go ahead and make a post and solidify it...

Well, I don't know about backfire. But I do agree that an attempt
should still be made. At a minimum it's still a big middle finger to the
far-left establishment in this state. Even if "we" lose, we still have
to make a showing for the sake of saying "Yes, we're still here, and yes,
we still hate you enough to vote against your communist candidates."
