| MIRS. A new poll by the Democratic firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner shows House Speaker Jase BOLGER (R-Marshall) trailing his little-known Democratic opponent in the 63rd Districts by 4 points, which is within the margin of error. Polling results obtained by MIRS have Bolger at 45 percent and Bill FARMER at 49 percent. This is in keeping with a MIRS/Practical Political Consulting poll this month that showed Bolger up by 3 points, 51.5 to 48.5 percent, which is within the margin of error (See "Bolger's Lead In 63rd Within Margin Of Error," 9/11/12). ...snip... "This is the same old story," Bolger spokesman Ari ADLER said. "Democrats are going to do polls that come out the way they want them to ... We break into this story for this... Chambers’ project started in July after he noticed an ABC News/Washington Post poll that “just didn’t look right.” We now go from the Koo-koo for cocoa puffs conservative who didn't like the way polls looked to him, and created his own reality that conservatives everywhere have grabbed onto and owned back to Ari Adler, talking about how polls that show his guy down are fabrications of Democrats who just want to create their own reality. and they're going to talk about them. ... ...snip, moving on, we see that MIRS phones in the illusion that it is anything more than a glorified stenographer service for those inside the Lansing bubble. Asked if he wanted to add anything, Adler said, ... Oh, who the hell cares. When you've gotten to that point, you already know that the guy has nothing of real value to add, and that he's just giving "his side of the story" whether that side is based on fact or the elves who sat down to have a bowl of shredded wheat with him for breakfast. The story goes on to mention that Democrats plan to sink a bunch of money into the race, even though they expect to ultimately lose. This keen approach to strategy, by the way, is probably what gave us Ruth Johnson as secretary of state. But, that's another story. |
