[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TomDiehl [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by futuremodal If the folks of St Paul voted their mayor out of office soley for the fact that he endorsed Bush back in 2004, then those folks are dumber than you guys. I would expect that there are other issues out there that affected that election. Hmmm, Democrat mind-sets dominating an election in a heavily Democratic city. That's a shock. Kind of like all those *polls* that show Bush's popularity is falling, it turns out only 35% of the respondents were Republican, while the rest were Democrats and "independents" i.e. people who vote Democrat but are too ashamed to admit it. Since over 50% of the nation has identified themselves as Republican, one would think those pollsters would want a sample base that reflects the nation's political makeup, unless of course they are really engaged in push polling....... [/quote] The folks in St Paul voted out their REPUBLICAN mayor (wonder how he got elected in the first place in a "heavily Democratic" city?) I also notice there's no breakout of the Democrats and Independents. Probably because there's LOTS of the "Independents" that are Republicans and afraid to admit it. [/quote] So he was Republican! Shocking. A Republican mayor being voted out in a Democrat city! Imagine that! KInda like heavily Democratic New Jersey and Virginia electing Democrat governers, whoda thunk it! [quote]QUOTE: Seems anyone can manipulate statistics and prove whatever point they want. [/quote] Well, that seems to be the modus operandi of the media dissection of the 2005 elections. BTW, weren't there also Republicans elected to LG and AG in Virginia? Ooops, there I go *manipulating* statistics again!
