2nd Debate: Obama voters focus group switches to Romney

Post by _bcspace »

A Frank Luntz focus group made up mostly of former Obama voters say they now support Mitt Romney.

"Forceful, compassionate, presidential," one participant said.
"Confident and realistic," said another.
"Presidential," another told Luntz.
"Enthusiastic," another reacted.
"Our next president," one man said.
"Dynamo, winner," said one more.

You forgot the one who said he was "Douchey." I thought that one was the best description.

Frank Luntz is not a journalist and he simply sets up stunts with predetermined outcomes.

Right or wrong if someone can't decide who to vote for at this point then they're damned idiots. These people will probably vacillate until the end and will forget to vote because they got distracted by a spider in their bathroom window.

Mitt Romney won over even more converts tonight:

"Stiff, wooden, trance-like," one informant said.
"Mole, pachyderm, legume combined," said another.
"Mxyzptlk," a participant told Moksha.
"An elder Elder candidate," another espoused.
"Thar she blows," one evaluator ejaculated.
"Pile of scumptious funeral potatoes," added another.
"A man for all positions," shouted one believer confidently.

Nice attempt, but I don't think you've quite got the hang of this haiku thing.

A little more mixed but overall leaning Romney. An MSNBC focus group of all things:

Gallup now has Romney at 48%, and it now has Obama at 46%.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/150743/Obama-Romney.aspx


Real Clear Politics now has Romney over Obama in Florida at an average of 2.5%.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls ... -1883.html


Barack Obama won the State of Florida by 2.8%, back in 2008. However, Romney is up in the latest several Polls over Obama from Florida.

Watching the video, I have to agree with you. Those were not undecided voters. It was a stunt.
