Luntz focus group unloads
on Obama after debate

Hot Air, by Ed Morrissey

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 10/17/2012 10:05:40 AM

In my estimation, last night’s debate was a draw. Both men did what they needed to do for the debate, but neither had enough of a breakout performance to make much of a difference in the race. I’d expect to see very little impact to the Mitt-mentum that developed after the first debate, for reasons which I’ll address in a moment. That wasn’t the conclusion reached by Frank Luntz’ focus group of former Barack Obama voters, and now undecideds, in Nevada. That panel overwhelmingly chose Mitt Romney as the winner, with observations about Romney’s presidential mien

If anyone tells you they're not voting because they don't like Romney, I strongly urge all of you to reply as follows:

Over 6,000 Americans have died in the last 10 years for you. Vote for them because they can't anymore. Vote for the members of our military who can't seem to get their absentee ballots in time. Vote for Romney because they can't and they deserve a Commander in Chief who views them as more than a photo op.

Monday we visited the Nevada State Capitol. As we were leaving, I threw out the question "who's going to win Nevada's electoral votes" to the three security guards at the entrance. The main guard answered "Mitt Romney, of course." While the SEIU has a stronghold in LV, this LV focus group lends credence to the guard's pronouncement!

The inside the beltway "nattering nabobs of negativism" (Dr.K & George Will)can drone on and on about 0bama winning, but this focus group proved them wrong. IMO, the entire performance by the Regime and willing accomplices will not play well and be seen for what it is, cheap, dirty politics.

CNN had a focus group too, and most of them were swayed to vote for Romney.

The sentiments of Luntz's first debate focus group were ultimately reflected in the polls. Such will be he case with the second debate as well.

#8 I saw it and I too enjoyed hearing it live. First of all none of us will wilt like a hot house rose because we heard the word BS. Secondly, it was the truth. That man was upset and you can tell he has been upset for a long time. What I don't get is why he has been an undecided voter. It's pretty obvious he doesn't have any respect for obama. obama may have been more animated but he was still oily and evasive. I wish Romney had challenged obama to explain why susan rice went on five talk shows tell the country that it was a riot that caused unplanned attack when obama had said it was a terrorist event. That was simply an out and out lie. Also why in the world aren't there any conservative moderators?

This focus group was on point last night. Unlike the one for the VP debate. Those people made no sense at all and it made me wonder about their cluelessness. Number 8 I too saw the gentleman express his frustration quite eloquently. Those watching in my household nearly feel out of our chairs because we were cheering/laughing so loud. That and Luntz's expression afterward was so funny. Could you imagine Hannity's face off camera. The Obamanation has been a four year train wreck of Bravo Sierra and it's time for us to get off.

There is a huge difference between winning points in the debate and swaying voters. Many men called 0bama the winner because he was more confrontational. Men love that! (They like violent sports.) The women and undecided voters that Mitt was courting found him to be strong, but not bullying and nasty like 0bama. Romney was a perfect mix of strength and good information. If he had let 0bama run over him, all lib headlines would have screamed "Mitt the Wimp". I expect Romney to continue his surge.

Apparently, other focus groups are swaying towards Romney which means undecideds are undecided about Romney. As that one lady in Luntz focus group said, she was deciding between voting for Romney or not voting at all. There may be alot more of them than we think, perhaps all of remaining undecideds are like that.

Yes, I truly love Romney even MORE today! I wish he were coming to my state because I would drive 200 miles to see him today. And cheer my heart out. He endured so much Bravo Sierra last night and socked it back to 'em. And we all need to give him lots of credit for doing that for US.

Can't wait to see him placing his hand on the Bible, taking the oath of office next January 20, 2013!

#5 Believe it or not, ''nattering nabobs of negativity'' goes back to the Nixon years. It was coined by William Safire to be used in a speech given by then Vice President, Spiro Agnew at the 1972 California Republican Convention, "In the United States today, we have more than our share of nattering nabobs of negativism . They have formed their own 4-H club -- the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history."

MIAMI -- Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and wasn´t afraid to get a little messy - just as long as she looked good and had fun, too. In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she opened an orange juice stand just off the island´s main shopping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes,though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses

Still OK to withdraw welfare benefits

An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure. Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. State welfare recipients receive their benefits

Add the name of Michelle Lynne (ne Robert) Kosilek to the list of modern phenomena the Founding Fathers would definitely not appreciate being blamed for. Little did they know what havoc they would someday wreak by adding the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment.” Now comes Kosilek, a convicted wife murderer doing life without parole. He/she is claiming that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny him/her a sex-change operation — excuse me, “gender-reassignment surgery.”Not to get too graphic, but Kosilek is begging for elective amputation of a body part.

Two very bad and extremely dangerous economic developments happened yesterday — and Wall Street appeared to miss both of them. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 40.86 points to 14565.25 after the Labor Department announced that the seasonally adjusted number of new jobs created in March was just 88,000 — far below the 190,000 or so Wall Street expected. The March figure was also less than one-third the number of jobs created during February. This led to the misperception that the job market tanked in March. It didn’t.

Duck Dynasty must make liberals heads explode. It is now the most popular “non-scripted” show currently on television. Its Season 3 premiere had 8.6 million viewers and a massive 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which as you might know, is quite popular with the advertisers. At the same time, each episode ends with the entire family at the dinner table where they pray before eating. Indeed, the Robertson clan is entirely evangelical. They take their faith in Christ seriously and exert quite a bit of effort preaching the gospel. The patriarch of the family, Phil, used to live

How to Survive a Sex Scandal:

How do you survive a sex scandal? Public-relations reps and crisis-communications counselors have made careers of dispensing advice on such matters. And so the usual counsel follows a fairly trite and untested path: Be honest from the start. Apologize. Make sure your wife stands behind you. Hogwash, for the most part. Everyone apologizes, nearly everyone’s wife is supportive, and no one is honest from the start. But still some politicians survive sordid situations, and some do not. Why? Let’s allow history to be our guide. There are more than enough examples to choose from. It was only Tuesday that former South Carolina governor

Shocker. Having failed to end Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s congressional career at the polls, the left is now moving to do it the old-fashioned way: Bork Bachmann unto political death. The problem? This really is the old-fashioned way. And any conservative even semi-awake recognizes the game instantly. In this case the game being played with the so-called Office of Congressional Ethics, the OCE. This is what we now call “Borking.” The method of choice of liberals when they are frustrated by the public’s attachment or potential attachment to a political figure on the Right.

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
