Robert Ford (who, I'm sorry, is not really a credible candidate in the long-term) is beating the heck out of Dwight Drake (establishment superstar lobbyist) and Vince Sheheen! Those guys have both been running hard for a long time and are barely registering with Dem voters. And Jim Rex -- whatever you may think of him -- is kicking butt. That's what the poll says. I'm just 'splainin' it to you jokers. Wow — I think you’re all missing the story here.

And if all the State used was the press release for their story, and not source data b/c they didn't have access to it, well there you have it... How often does this happen each and every day? You're only going to put the numbers that support your story. Rex sponsored this poll. Of course they're going to share the data that supports their candidate, why would they show otherwise? If it were a third-party, it would be different and probably more scientific. I've got no care either way in this pissing contest.

(Hint - a lot and they do not.) For those of us not so ethically challenged, it's a constant source of amazement and entertainment to watch the maneuverings of someone so lacking in ethical boundaries. On fitsnews, whining about not getting the respect due a "real" media outlet alternates with regurgitating garbage from your various paying customers alternates with bragging about just how influential you are. Can you say medium fish in puny, insignificant pond?

The Rex campaign and The State evidently share (or will soon, anyway) two traits in common: they'll be financially bankrupt and morally bankrupt simultaneously, and the disappearance of both will represent a net positive for SC... Can you IMAGINE the media hue and cry if a Republican pol had excluded a viable black candidate in this manner. Firestorm doesn't even begin to describe it... Wow, this is pretty cool.

A guy who will only get 11 percent of the vote has a double digit lead over a guy who only get 1 percent. Don't mean he'll win though.

This data here shows Robert Ford coming in second. The next line is runoff data, and the comparison, in THIS reply, is Rex beating Sheheen, but "undecided" coming in first, actually. You'd have to see the question asked to get the answer, but it looks like Ford, who came in second, was EXCLUDED from the runoff scenario. It's certain he was excluded or lumped in with "undecided" in this memo sent out to dispel the insinuation that the campaign and poll excluded Ford. Much as I hate to say it, Rex is sending Ford to the back of the bus. It is interesting that Zeke’s reply, seems to confirms the substance of this report here on FITS.
