Suddenly, Polls Matter Again: NRSC Ad Has Scary Music, Mob Noises…and Selective Amnesia
Two things we learn from the new TV spot by the National Republican Senatorial Committee: (1) Democrats are sneeringly contemptuous of the American public, and (2) Republicans hope to Christ you’re too stupid to remember when that was cool:
“I disagree with what the majority of the American people want.”
—Sen. John McCain, on Iraq (3/10/2008)
“Polls are nothing more than just like a poof of air.”
—President Bush (2/15/2008)
COURIC: But polls have shown that Sen. Obama has actually gotten a boost as a result of this latest crisis, with more people feeling that he can handle the situation better than John McCain.
PALIN: I’m not looking at poll numbers. (9/24/2008)
CHENEY: On the security front, I think there’s a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That’s been a major success.
RADDATZ: Two-thirds of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.
CHENEY: So?
RADDATZ: So? You don’t care what the American people think?
CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. (3/19/2008)
Also, please note that Republicans are dynamic, colorful individuals, while Democrats are all scowling black-and-white escapees from a Hitler documentary.
Oh, and Republican candidate percentages are always bigger than the Dem numbers, even when the Dem is winning.
