A 95.65% match for each.

The calls described in the oponing monologue are usually called “push polling”. They ask a cople of questions to classify you, then go on to test your preference. If you say that you like “candidate X”, then they go on to ask, “would you still like candidate X if you knew (s)he drowned puppies for a hobby?”

Or something along that line.

I recall that they were used against John McCain in the 2000 Carolina primaries, usually implying he had illigitimate (non-white) children either in the US or when he was a POW in Vietnam.

For fun there is a presidential calculator. My highest score was Mike Gravel (on 19 states) at 14.44%. The highest known candidate was Giuliani at 11.65%. The highest known Democrat was Clinton at 4.27%. The one I plan to vote for is at 2.28% and the least rated was McCain at .37%.

[...] for giggles, also go here: “Do you support President Bush?” “Yes.” Call ends. “Do you support [...]

We had the same in Iowa. They asked who you were supporting in the caucus and if you answered, they went on to trash that person and suggest Huckabee’s position.

I might have to try that Suek.

The lemon is supposed to be a natural anti-bacterial as well as providing vitamin C.

Honey is also good for coughs.

Suek,

Thanks, I think that was also the Michigan Cure as my father used to use the same thing. My mother’s “Ohio Cure” used tea instead of water. Or was that my father’s too? After the second dose of it, I don’t care

Mike,

Thanks also, unfortunately, this is a bacterial infection… probably from reading the multiple Steve paranoid delusional projectionist spam posts.

Or a New England cold cure…

Juice of 2 lemons
2 oz (1/4 C) honey
2 oz rum

Mix all in a 16 oz glass, and fill to top with water as hot as you can stand to drink. Mix well and drink while still hot.
Go directly to bed.

I’ve never decided if this really is a cold cure or just makes you not care if you have cold. In any case, in New England, the Vitamin C of the lemons might have been a good thing in those old “traditional” days, and believe me, they warm you up for the night! My husband used to swear by them – and it turned him into a veritable radiator!

They don’t taste especially good(imo) so there _must_ be some other reason they drank them…!

Chris: So that idiot Philly Steve things “we have paid WhiteHouse staffers to do our research”???

That’s just a variation on the moonbat claim that the PRO VICTORY forces are paid and trained by Halliburton and Blackwater (you might have seen my post honoring Skye at Midnight Blue where that was asserted by the “peace” crowd, many of whom ARE being funded or subsidized by George Soros).

Now, to the other point… I just had a somewhat testy exchange with a paid Rudy staffer over the role of the smaller states. I am all in favor of dumping the sole focus on Iowa and New Hampshire. But if Rudy does pull off what now looks like a miracle in Florida and Super Tuesday, I would hate the consequence to be a focus on the big states.

To elaborate that point further: the Electoral College exists for the sole reason to prevent big states from using the power of their majority population to decide the chief executive.

P.S. Try Echinaecea tea laced with zinc and fresh lemon every two hours for your ear infection. I think Sleepy Time has a brand loaded with the proper balance of botanicals and zinc.

Point taken. I blame the ear infection I have for lack of enthusiasm on the primaries. I see the reasoning and understand now. Thanks Mike and bbartlog.

Of course, what do I care about being sick. According to our paranoid, spamming troll, we have paid WhiteHouse staffers to do our research for us and do not have to do any work ourselves…… Wow, hearing that was a shock! Curt, why didn’t you tell me? I spend all this time hunting down and collecting information from multiple sources by myself when I could have a staffer do it!
