Anybody catch that focus group with Frank Luntz on CSPAN?

[Arrowhead2k1]

They were supposedly comprised of a bunch of undecideds and when the topic of McCain's choice of Palin came up, nearly 2 to 1 had negative views of her. Many of the women weren't impressed either. It was great! :D

They were all from the swing state of Minnesota too.

[skooooo]

1. yay!

McCain miscalculated.

2. Amazing that Luntz let that happen.

Apparently even a rigged group doesn't like her. I can't believe anyone lets that scumbag on the air.

4. Disturbs me that C-Span allowed Luntz on in the first place n/t

3. What I saw of it, they were shitting in their pants about the economy, health care and SS

Privatizing SS...forget it. Health care costs...get 'em the fuck down (and fast). Economic security...there is none.

Frank didn't look too pleased.

5. Not surprised. I think Palin is a dud.

She will likely only help him with his base who were already voting for him.

6. WOW!! You mean, the audience wasn't handpicked??!??!?

[housewolf]

7. It was sponsored by the AARP, not the Republican Party

The main focus was on how health care messages are resonating with voters.

Supposedly they were all undecided votes. although Luntz accused a couple of them of not coming in undecided.

8. Fuck Frank Lutz....

13. You mean Frank Putz?

Gawd I despise that guy. :grr:

9. Luntz was obviously disturbed by some of the results.

Or is he always angry looking? Did you like it when he was ecstatic that some of the participants were blaming attorneys for our health care mess - the Republican mantra? In the end, I believe that more of them were leaning towards Obama.

11. I believe they were lying..

I watched and they were finding every excuse under the sun that was wrong but they didn't want to do anything to fix it and they tried to pretend as though they didn't know what change meant as it related to Obama how many ways do they want him to say it. I know they are just making up excuses until it will be too late to fix anything..

10. Woo-hoo! They're not buying what the repugs and corporate

media are selling! Of course the selling starts in earnest this week, so we need to have an offense too.

[blondeatlast]

12. So Luntz couldn't rig that focus group? EPIC FAIL--I couldn't be happier for the

lout! :rofl:

14. AARP isn't what it used to be, when it isn't selling insurance it's running those comparison ads

Those commercials they run seem to say that both candidates are more of the same and they (AARP) are going to fight for us, than why did they push for that horrible Medicare bill.
