Twitter Tidbits

This twitter tidbit was sent to me yesterday:

SonOfDeepThroat:

#NJGOP: GOP close in new PACPolls: #NJ3: @Runyan2010 43% Adler 43% #NJ12: @SupportScott 41% Holt 44% #NJ6: @Little4Congress 39% Pallone 47%



That's very encouraging polling data for late July, if it is real. John Runyon and Scott Sipprelle are in very winnable races, and Anna Little is within striking distance poised to to pull off an upset, just as I've witnessed her do in five previous elections.

I love Anna Little. Sometimes I wish she would do something the easy way. But, if she did, she wouldn't be Anna Little.

Being the good dung dropper that I am, I set out to find the source of SonOfDeepThroat's data.

The NJGOP had no idea was I was talking about and suggestted I ask SonOfDeepThroat.

I'd have to sign up for Twitter to do that. I've been resisting that because I didn't know what those #'s and @'s were all about. I think I've figured out the @'s but the #'s are still a mystery. So now I'm on twitter, twitter.com/MonmouthMusings.

According to his twitter profile, SonOfDeepThroat (SODT) is a Paid/Earned Media Campaign Consultant; former Party Hack; Radio Political Correspondant on those wink-n-nod deals on The Hill.

SODT responded to my inquiries explaining that he couldn't divulge the source of the data because it came from a conservative DC PAC that is monitoring 60+ vulnerable Dem Seats. He said PACs can't release internal polling data to the media because the FEC would classify the polls as donations to the campaigns.

Hey Art,

Are you going to post the result of the Al Gore Kerfuffle? You know. The fact that the accuser failed a lie detector test after cashing her National Enquirer check and cashing in on her 15 minutes.

Oh. I forgot. You're biased so of course you won't. Tell me again where the "fair" part comes in.

Go back to your hole Kathy. Say hello to Jim Devine and Jim Purcell on your way down.

Gore was "relevant" here last week when Art posted the accuser's taped "complaint."

Now that Gore is cleared of all charges he's no longer relevant?

Way to prove why this site ISN'T relevant but just an outlet for a salesman. You know, something for him to do when there's no one buying what he's selling (literally as well as figuratively).

This is a great sign for Anna Little! Nobody has come this close to Frank Pallone, EVER

I bet I could find a few Dem polls showing that the Congressman is up by 20 points. I think its not so good that a conservative pac pollster shows her down by 8 pts. But hey, spin it any way you can, I guess.

Rick,

I'll take that bet.

Given who you are favoring, I'm sure you think these poll numbers are not so good. :-)
