Obama’s DNC speech tested well in focus groups: report
Media critic for The Daily Beast Howard Kurtz reports that President Obama‘s decidedly lackluster Democratic convention speech actually tested well in focus groups; even better than his speech accepting his party’s nomination at the ’08 convention.
… Obama and his advisers had taken great pains to avoid soaring rhetoric that might have been derided as empty.
Indeed, they extensively tested the president’s speech in dial groups, a type of focus group where voters twist dials to register approval or disapproval of specific passages, and say it tested off the charts. The reaction, they say, was more positive than to Obama’s 2008 acceptance speech in Denver.

Posted on September 9, 2012 at 12:37amThe supporters Obama has left are all sheeple. They will follow him into the sewer and say they went to a spa.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 6:03pmI wonder if their reading of the polls is equally flawed. I think Obama will be taken to the woodshed on November 6th and given a smack down that has not been seen since Reagan schooled Jimmy Carter.

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 7:54pmI swing back and forth. Some days I think Romney will win in a landslide and then other days I think, “Please Lord. Please don’t let Obama win this thing.”
I’ve predicted every single Presidential race since Carter/Ford. I haven’t settled on who’s going to win this time around. Usually I can point to a couple of moments when the candidate clinches it. I do think the Dems booing God and Jerusalem was one of those moments, but I think the final moment will come at the debates.
