Did Anyonce Catch Live Focus Group on C-Span?

[otohara]

it was being run by Frank Luntz or Lutz, of undecided voters in MN. They sounded like the typical wishy, washy, whiners I encounter when phone banking, but in the end....15 were for Obama and 9 for McCain.

C-Span had to cut it off at 6EST, which is too bad, I wanted to hear more of the crack-pot press punditry ask more questions. Much concern about Palin - none about Joe Biden.

1. FUCK FRANK LUTZ !!!!

4. He Was Just Running It

AARP sponsored it. They did the same thing in Denver - Questions were not biased towards McCain if that's what your thinking. When it came to the reporters asking questions, the first was from some guy at FOX and he was definately trying to cast dark clouds over Obama, but folks weren't falling for it.

5. BS the only reason for Lutz is to create the illusion of support

and make the numbers that kick out of the voting machines somewhat plausible

2. Good news. I think the more undecided voters hear about

Palin the more concerned they will be.

3. Yeah, I watched it. It was an AARP focus group.

I will say that frank Luntz, as much as I dislike him, is not as partisan as he once was. Guess that's what happens when you want to work.

I think that the more people hear Obama speak on the issues, the more will give him their vote.

6. I thought it was very interesting

Palin didn't score well. Obama's health care messages scored higher than McCain's. Luntz tried hard to swing people to the right. Accountablility overwhelming beat out experience and Obama beat out McCain on the accountablity issue. It's worth watching if you can catch a re-play (not scheduled yet).

7. I was kinda disgusted by how Luntz was pretty biased.

A lot of his follow up questions and the topics were about McCain. Yeah, the voters who were making decisions were also rather dumb for how they were making their decisions since a lot of their information was wrong to begin with. I was kinda worried that the AARP was tacitly endorsing McCain because that's how the focus group came across as-- a focus group that was built to tell McCain how to improve his campaign rather than just one focused on getting what voters wanted.

But the press at the end, especially the Fox journalist, was so obnoxious and so obviously partisan. The Fox guy was so obviously hostile towards the people who were leaning Obama, it was crazy.

I want to see the re-run though because I didn't catch the first part of it.
