From Monday’s WCAX poll (emphasis mine):

Note that No Opinion and Do Not Recognize are lumped together under the heading No Opinion…

…A. The first name is _________. do you recognize that name?
B. (IF YES) Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of _______?

From Freyne in print today (emphasis mine again):

yours truly was the only reporter to show up for Candidate Parker’s 9 a.m. presser at Democratic Party Headquarters, where he played his new radio spot and took questions.

You do the math.

This was said at the Values Voters Summit in Washington DC over last weekend, according to a report in the Financial Times http://www.ft.com/cm…

Bill Bennett, a conservative radio host, said that when US soldiers were killed and dragged through the streets in Falluja, Iraq, “you take out Falluja. You level Falluja. You have to teach them that American life is not cheap”.  First, as far as I recall, they were not US soldiers, they were “contractors” i.e. mercenaries, though Bennett’s implication is that they were being paid by the CIA or something.  Second, I don’t recall Jesus condoning one act of savagery in response to another – or do I misunderstand what  Values Voters think they stand for?  I guess it’s OK to kill Iraqi men, women and children for revenge, but it’s not OK to stop an 8 cell lump of protoplasm from continuing to divide.

Query for “The Powerful” & Plugged In: has anyone fact-checked the RNC ad for Martha Rainville? You know, the one where it is claimed she “stood up to the Pentagon … and WON” over securing better body armor for National Guard troops being sent to Iraq.

Did she really play a major part in that?
