CNN's John King: Trend Line Is Moving Governor Romney's Way

[TroyD]

What do you make of this prediction tonight from John King?

[MFM008]

1. the trendline

is that he is batshit.

[octoberlib]

7. +1

[FrenchieCat]

2. I'm thinking I"m gonna be trashing this thread......

What about you, oh great Poll Posting Personnage???? What do you think about the shit you posted here?

[TroyD]

10. Trash away

I hope John King is wrong, so direct your trashing at him.

This is getting some play tonight, so as always, it's important to be aware of the narrative that is out there, whether we like it or not.

[FrenchieCat]

12. It's getting play....cause you just posted his smut here......

I'm sure he is grateful to you!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. But Troy hopes he's wrong!

Troy makes me think of the horses & bayonets line tonight: Troy d'Equine.

[FrenchieCat]

22. Yep......sure!

Just waiting for him to post on what Ann Coulter said while he's at it!

I stopped watching CNN for a reason, and John Media Whore King is one of them.
I don't need to see his name next to a negative quote on the Presidential race
15 days out (right after a winning O debate) on this forum.

If I want fucked up news about what some Corporate Media Whore said,
I can go to FreeperRepublic and get a link to that bullshit!

Just sayin'.....

28. It's likely someone was going to post it, so really what the hell does it matter

I'm not sure why you and others treat this person like crap. You'll find on here I often stand up for people, and I am certainly not a troll. I've been on 4 1/2 years and have 6,000 posts.

29. With All Do Respect You Could Fit All Of CNN's Listeners Into A Phone Booth.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

3. What do you think, TroyD?

[TroyD]

6. The current polling & Electoral College still appear to favor Obama

And Nate Silver showed Obama going up to 70% today.

But as I always say, it's important to be cautious and watch out for the Republicans.

John King is right that the gap did narrow after the first debate, but he appears to be leaping to conclusions here.

David Gergen looks like he doesn't entirely agree with John in the clip.

[Summer Hathaway]

4. I put as much stock in John King's commentary

as I did Baghdad Bob's.















Okay, maybe a bit more stock in Baghdad Bob.

[Cha]

14. I put as much stock in John King(cnn mediaWhore) as I

do, Brit Hume..fox mediawhore.

[BeyondGeography]

5. The trendline, the trajectory

They're all talking the same bullshit.

They have no idea what's in store.

[Supersedeas]

33. the lines lead directly to vote manipulation in Florida and Ohio

Maybe they know this.

[DMacTX]

8. I've always felt John King was a very fair and articulate pundit/analyst. His comment worries me

a little......

[FrenchieCat]

13. You thought like Ceasar.......

[TroyD]

15. John King declared Obama the winner of the debate tonight

Which is why I was surprised by tonight's comment about the trendline.

But I see where he is coming from. Romney has narrowed the race from where it was a few weeks ago and put states in play for himself that were out of reach.

But I think John King should wait a few days before making any conclusions.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

23. Yeah, sometimes it's hard to tell if somebody is stupid

or just playing stupid.

[Cha]

19. Actually, John King is a cnn mediawhore...so

I'm not worried about his stupid narrative.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

30. Your Concern Is Duly Noted.Thank You For Your Input./nt

9. Humm, given John King's enormous journalism cred and

impeccable record as a political pundit, I suppose we should be quaking in our boots, huh?
Whadda ya think, Troy?

[hogwyld]

39. Maybe we all should just give up

and face the inevitability of the coming Rmoney apocalypse. Obama should just give his concession speech tonight and save us the pain.... Oh yeah, sarcasm...

[woolldog]

11. The trend is no longer moving Romney's way.

[Chan790]

16. Trend lines tend to move when a candidate exceeds expectations.

Considering that Governor Romney did not come out in any debate drool on himself and shit his pants, one could make an argument that he did exceed expectations.

Ultimately, going from a 0% chance of victory to 30% chance of victory is significant...but still the difference between losing and losing.

[FrenchieCat]

18. I don't know about shit in his pants.......

If that's not underperforming, than I don't know what is!

27. The Award for the Palin moment goes to Mittens

seriously, there is a lot to work with, but the Syria is their route to the sea thing should be getting A LOT of talk.

[dchill]

17. You know how it is with trends...

They're so... I don't know... trendy?

[Cha]

20. I call Bullshit on John King-cnn-MediaWhore.

[MjolnirTime]

24. John King has shit for brains.

[demvoter4life]

25. Probally because most

Of the trackers have romney ahead. Just 2 months ago Obama was up +7 average.
latest poll of each company since first debate showing romney lead.
Gallop
Rasmussen
survey USA
Battleground Politico
PPP tracker just released http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/pdf/2011/102010211022TrackingPoll.pdf
they got a 55% female to 45% male ratio and still have romney +2 how?
UpI
Fox
Pew Research

They like to ignore all polls showing obama up granted there are less right now.
http://electoralmap.net/2012/intrade.php (always accurate more so then public polls)

that Ohio number at 54% keeps dropping.

I get every poll as soon as it comes out and nationally I hate to say cutting out gravis(they dont do many national polls)
Romney is ahead about 0.6 of a point.
With no Rasmussen romney is ahead about 0.15 points. In all honestly he does have a tiny lead Nationally. Snce the first debate. I know im a troll debby downer ect. But it all comes down to GOTV and Margin of error in the national vs state polls. Vote, Contribute, Talk to family and Friends ect. Its going to be close. Im a realist and wont contribute to the Obama in a landslide post that was floating around. Use calm rationality not Obama is going to win by 15+ points. Also know do whatever you can do to help, and 60% chance of winning is better then a coin flip. Call me a troll or whatever you like Obama had this in the bag....now the VP debate and the Last 2 President Debates failed to move the Polls (this one wont Either Less viewers, PPP and CNN showed no difference in vote although Obama cleary won.) The Electorate is stubborn and the "I dont know attention people" will vote for whoever tells them to (if they vote) basically leaving the winner up to the Same people you see on MSNBC post debate focus groups. whoever can get 3% of the uninformed idiot vote will win. Leaving the presidency in the hands of 5% of people who know nothing of politics and have no idea who is lying in the debates. These are the people that watch the debates and vote who there BF's, Parents, Friends tell them to. They dont watch the news or know the facts. That is why Obama "lost" the first debate. whoever changed there mind did so watched it and probally did not watch another debate. BOOM there mind was made up Romney it is (he seemed like he wanted it more although I didnt listen to much) I have heard that 3x by yes real people. I personally dont get it, but a 4% switch is only 1 in 25 people and that is what happened.

[fasttense]

26. I think your statement and John King misrepresents reality.

Even Intrade has Obama winning with a substantial lead.

[progressivebydesign]

36. "Gallup" not "Gallop" and Fox News? UPI? SurveyUSA? (R)assussen? yep.. fair and balanced.

Do you understand polling? Do you know that we don't elect the President based on popular vote?

Do you understand LIKELY VOTER models? Which exclude people based on the color of their skin, their income, and their age???

[tosh]

37. John King

is an idiot.

[DFW]

38. Don't forget who openly supports whom

John King, Chuck Todd, David Gregory, Wolf Blitzer, and, at least up to recently-until the right trashed her after doing a credible job in the second debate, Candy Crowley...........this was a partial list of openly Republican-friendly "newscasters-" commentators on CNN.

Expect it from them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowley has now seen the true ugly face of her followers--maybe she will acquire some objectivity because of it. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened. The rest of them are papered-over Fox clones, and have only slightly more objectivity than Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.

40. John King is such a fu*&ing TOOL
