Novack: Most Dems feel Kerry will lose
I just flipped on Fox Jr. (CNN) for 1 minute and I had to turn it off.
Novack said most Dems he talks to say Kerry is "most likely going to lose."
Even if you believe the polls (which I don't) Kerry is ahead in the electoral college!

Who the hell is this idiot talking to?!
Is he a liar, stupid or delusional?

Do yourselves a favor and don't watch CNN.

4. I think he is talking to
his imaginary friends and the voices in his head. All the Dems I talk to think Kerry is going to win by a landslide.

14. Well, remember who Novak talks to
Party leaders, elected officials, etc. They might be skeptical, but from what I hear around here it's pretty optimistic. That might explain the difference.

8. CNN is on drugs
I heard them qualify a poll that shows bush has a "substantial" lead over kerry this morning as taken mostly from single white males and veterans. a seven point lead. Of course when Kerry had a seven point lead, it was merely "a statistical dead heat".

Those poll respondents speak for all of us of course. CNN's pollsters make turnips look smart, and CNN is Fox-Lite, half the calories, twice the bullshit.

13. Dems talk to him? I mean, like, voluntarily?
Edited on Mon Sep-13-04 03:32 PM by rocknation
not bloodly likely...

I've decided to nickname the mainstream media's sudden and robust effort to demoralize Kerry supporters Operation Kill Shot.

20. Novak ia s drunken old clown
He goes to Washington cocktail parties, has Repukes whisper sweet nothings in his decrepit old ears, and regurgitates in print and on TV. He is the epitome of someone who last traveled outside the Beltway in an Edsel.

21. From a fallacy website
Appeal to Popularity
(argumentum ad populum)

Definition:
A proposition is held to be true because it is widely held to be true or is held to be true by some (usually upper crust)sector of the population.

This fallacy is sometimes also called the "Appeal to Emotion" because emotional appeals often sway the population as a whole.

Examples:
(i) If you were beautiful, you could live like this, so buy Buty-EZ and become beautiful. (Here, the appeal is to the "beautiful people".)
(ii) Polls suggest that the Liberals will form a majority government, so you may as well vote for them.
(iii) Everyone knows that the Earth is flat, so why do you persist in your outlandish claims?

22. Novack knows his side will steal it again if possible. And we know too.
I`m sure that is the type of Democratic wimps he is talking to. Not any Democrats that I know of though. If our votes get counted. Usurper boy is so out of there.

25. He's probably been talking to half of DU.
:-(

Why must we insist on being our own worst enemies?
Why do we give aid and comfort to the GOP?

At this point of the race, Bush is one of the weakest incumbents in recent memory. Hand-wringing will only embolden them. High-profile, highly public second guessing makes us look weaker than we really are.

Stop whining. Start winning.

And if Kerry's not your cup of tea, then feel free to have at him on November 3rd. But until then, a show of faith, unity, and optimism would be nice.

26. If Novak ever spoke to me, I'd be asking him when he will turn himself in
for treason. I would ask him that question live on CNN if ever I were a guest on CrossFire. I wouldn't stop asking the question and in fact require that I be thrown off the set. I can't believe that no one calls him on this anymore, even when he suggests that Dan Rather reveal his source for the memos.

The only reaction to Novak I have seen is the couple of times that Margaret Carlson has suggested on Capital Gang that she doesn't feel clean sitting next to him.

consideration.

32. Novak's been polling the RNC again evidently
Or maybe he's a Rush Limbaugh fan. I'm a Democrat and I'm certainly not looking for John Kerry to lose; quite the contrary.

33. Repug Talking Points
If I was a Repug drafting my talking points to my media friends (and Novack is number one), I would recommend that they keep telling the Dems they're gonna lose so they would shut them up. give up, and not vote.

They're desperate. I would be if I were them, looking at these tight poll numbers.
