WTF? Wash Post article claims dems far behind in senate races?!?!?
Schumer Has Seen the Future, and It's Democratic
By Dana Milbank
Wednesday, August 30, 2006; Page A02

Some see the glass as half empty, others as half full. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) sees it as overflowing.

Briefing reporters yesterday on Democrats' prospects in the midterm elections, Schumer, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, had trouble thinking of a single race Republicans will win.

How about Nevada, where Democrat Jack Carter trails Sen. John Ensign (R) by 21 points?

"Jack Carter has done a very good job. . . . Nevada is moving up on our radar screen . . . We are getting more and more enthusiastic about Nevada."

And Arizona, where a poll found Sen. Jon Kyl (R) 18 points ahead of Democrat Jim Pederson?

"We're feeling better and better. . . . Our candidate Jim Pederson is running a great race. . . . The public seems to like what he says."

Or Virginia, where no conventional poll has found Democrat James Webb leading Sen. George Allen (R)?

"We think we have a good chance of winning in Virginia. . . . We regard it as a very, very good chance of a Democratic pickup."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/29/AR2006082901259.html

Now, I read what comes up on DU pretty regularly, and so far:
Webb ahead of Allen 48 to 47%: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=183&topic_id=4273

Kyl ahead of Pederson by 4 points (not 18, you MF'er) : http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2801503

Ensign ahead of carter by 4 points (Not 21, you stupid MF'er)): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2801343

Why is it that only the most negative poll numbers are discussed by the MSM? I think we all know the reason why...:mad:

1. Kyl is 4-10 points ahead of Pederson, depending on the poll
No way 18%. That is crap.

3. Kyl is at 50% or lower in every poll taken.

The largest gap between Kyl and Pederson is 8 points. Also, Carter is NOT 20+ points behind Ensign.

Remember, Milbank is a paid Republican tool.

5. Seems like the voter discouragement drive has begun
"Don't bother, there is no way the Repuke will lose. You are in a red state, remember!"

6. It's Skull and Bones Dana protecting his pal
Since when has Milbank told the truth? Just like everyone else at the Whoreshington Post, he lies for his Führer!
