To reach those who have abandoned traditional landline telephones, Rasmussen Reports uses an online survey tool to interview randomly selected participants from a demographically diverse panel. The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 Likely Voters is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

Scott Romney may run for Carl Levin’s seat.

Mitt’s older brother? With due respect, I think we can do better.
March 10th, 2013 at 6:23 pm
At 71? I would much rather see Justin Amash run for that seat.

Hooray! The Rombot/Romnot dichotomy gets to live on!

BTW, why is Raz the pro-Bam outlier? Everyone else has him under 50, and Quinnipiac has him under water.

A few things on John Bush.
I have been thoroughly unimpressed with John Bush’s media tour. Today I watched the FoxNews and NBC interviews.
1) He seems easily annoyed at obvious legitimate questions. Instead of simply answering the question asked in a straightforward manner, he always gives non-verbal cues of entitlement and annoyance at nearly every question.
2) Corollary to (1). When he’s REALLY annoyed at a question, he gives a nervous laugh, like he’s scoffing at the media. It would be better, John, if you just understood the media’s role and answer the damn question.
3) Corollary to (2). When he was REALLY REALLY annoyed, he exhibited brother George’s foot-in-mouth symptoms by saying the media are “crack addicts,” which first is a stupid thing to say, which second is a bad analogy (barely fitting), and which third undermines the very real world problem of crack addicts. Then he compounded the problem by calling them “heroin addicts.” Stop, John, just stop. By the way, John, wasn’t your daughter a crack addict and heroin addict? Or was it just prescription drugs? That makes “making light of it” even more inappropriate.
4) While scoffing at Grover Nordquist, John Bush demonstrates he is an expert at negotiating with himself. In other words, he has no earthly idea how to negotiate.
Stay at home, John. You’re not as good as advertised.

In other news, while I hate Obama, I have been thoroughly impressed with Obama’s negotiation skills. He never, ever, ever gives in, and always presses his leverage (his electoral and campaign prowess) to maximum effect.
Yeah, it pisses me off often, but the man knows how to negotiate.

8 I can’t say I agree with you, he’s alright frankly but his family name kills him and he’s not the best we can offer. May I also point out his name is Jeb?

John Ellis “Jeb” Bush ..perhaps he could lose the “Bush” but actually his wife has the perfect name, Columba Garnica Gallo

GOP Strategist Says Party is Not Good Place for Women
Republican strategist Steve Schmidt told Meet the Press that his party is not very friendly to women.
Said Schmidt: “It’s one of the problems we have structurally in the Republican Party… Any company, any organization in today’s day and age that doesn’t give equal opportunity to women, that doesn’t advance women to the table, is going to be an organization that has difficulty competing.”

#9… Bozo the Clown could out-negotiate the current Republican leadership. Obama can just go out and talk about how the Republicans only want tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, knowing that the media will do everything it can to frame the debate in his favor, and if he keeps it up long enough the Republicans will eventually fold on everything. Rinse, lather, repeat. Every one of these showdowns, over the debt ceiling, over the fiscal cliff, over sequestration–it’s the same. Our party’s leadership has proven itself to be absolutely worthless time and time again.

Yeah, true. In politics, winning elections is leverage. We need a winner.

8. There’s no doubt that Jeb has a bad habit of cranky/irritable responses to questioning.

14 It is easy to out-maneuver our leadership because it refuses to take a stand. Right now the only thing we agree on is that we are the party of lower taxes. I believe that is a short-sighted and infantile way to approach conservative government. Presumably our hope to stop out of control G spending is to deprive the government of the money which it needs to pay its obligations. That is dangerous and very easy to campaign against (as we are seeing nationally).
The way an adult attacks this problem over the long-term is to reduce the role of government. When government does less by law, it spends less. Tax reductions are very easy to pass when there is long-term surplus. Talk to Americans about what we want the government doing and not doing. Reduce redundancy (do I really need to pay taxes to my school district, city, county, state, and nation??). What is our aim? If it is just to lower taxes and that is all, I guess we’re doing okay. If it is truly to limit the role of government in our eyes let’s work on that and let tax reductions take care of themselves.
