The reason I'm bringing this up is that according to current data supplied by Pollster.Com, Independents lead both Democrats and Republicans in numbers:

It is obvious from these figures, that in order to win a general election in 2012, you will NEED INDEPENDENTS. You can't win the general election with just Republicans.
Great post Bos.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will be lost on most of the Palin/Huckabee supporters. They'll tell you that the data is either irrelevant or a left wing plot.

Hey Bos,
ReplyDeleteLike that Polster.com interactive graph.
zeke,
Maybe Palin fans feel that if they say this independent voters phenomenon doesn't matter enough times, then it won't.
I agree with you are saying Bosman.
ReplyDeleteThe media is very left wing. I believe they want our weakest candidate against Obama.
By belittling Palin, she's getting some sympathy votes in addition to her base of support.
I don't believe the media wants to put data out there that would show a vulnerability on her part.
That's why the ONLY PLACE we hear about this Independents factor, is on political blogs and not television.
