#1 Notice what happens when there are inconvenient truths:

1. Liberals assume that it MUST be ideologically driven. Because that's what they do!

2. The source of the inconvenient truths must be attacked, its credibility destroyed.

3. The very fact that an independent researcher is producing contrary results to The Cause[tm] is PROOF POSITIVE that he is doing something wrong. The idea that things just might not be as they think simply does not enter into the equation.

#2 Stalinist political purge threats and attacks against the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had the desired effect, why not exercise the same tactics against Rasmussen? Few surprises here.

#3 The liberals dont like the numbers so they shoot the messenger instead of dealing with reality. Typical idiotic Stalinist response from the left.

What has them twisted in a knot is that of all the major poll companies, Rasmussen has been the most accurate in terms of predictive polls, or so I have heard said.

It would be interesting to see how Rasmussen did in NJ and VA compared to the Dems favored pollsters (NYT/MSNBC probably).

#4 In either New Jersey or Virginia, Rasmussen got it right on the button (a 3-pt winning margin for the Republican) and their prediction in the other race was close also.

It's funny how the Democrats conveniently forget that Rasmussen's outfit was the first to recognize that Obama was pulling away from Hillary and that he actually OVER-estimated Obama's winning margin against McCain.

The Democrats are still in the Denial phase. Regret will arrive as we get closer to the 2010 elections and Acceptance is due after November.

#5 As the last poster said, funny how the dhimocrats never minded it when the numbers looked good for them.

Shooting the messenger never accomplished anything guys.

Please keep doing it.

#6 ...and Acceptance is due after November.

That is an assumption, though I don't think the Brazilian Embassy has enough room for them all when the dust settles.

#7 Gallup and all the other polls that oversample Democrats, however, are just peachy.

#8 Just added Rasmussen Reports to my browser's Favorites tab.

Fox news got a lot of new viewers. Glenn Beck was named Man of the Year. Rush Limbaugh's EIB Network sold out all advertising spots. Rasmussen is definitely going to considered a premier polling source from now on.

Jealous. Wish I could piss off Obama.

#9 Don't forget that the NYT bestseller book-list had a significant number of conservative books.
