UNH polls are a joke.

Right,
Its all just a big conspiracy......

UNH is "hyper-political", primarily their Carsey Institute...
http://carseyinstitute.unh.edu/

?

UNH is a joke. Their priorities are so skewed. Two of my sons graduated from UNH. The youngest was an engineering major who was on the UNH Precision Racing Team. Whe the team was in Detroit for an international competition the UNH website couldn't bother to cover their competition.They were too busy taking photos of the peeps village built by the health and wellness students and posting them on the website (imagine that - little sugar filled marshmallow peeps as a health display). After the third day of competition and I still saw no news on their site I contacted the twits who post the news. Within an hour, someone was on the phone with the team out in Michigan and by evening they had an article posted.
Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars on your kids' education only to have them build a peeps village? Our education system is so broken that you hardly see any Americans as doctors anymore either. Don't believe me about the Peeps? Here's their third annual Peeps show. http://www.unh.edu/health-services/ohep/peeps_show.html

Actually I kind of like peeps! You sent the reader to the UNH Health and Human Services page which I'm sure they had what was going on that weekend. If you sent us the link to the Precision Team page. http://www.unh.edu/fsae/ you would find that they decided to create a new website and I'm guessing they did not complete it in time for the competition. I guess they were focused on the competition and not promotion?

Well Jay - Your assumptions are incorrect. The racing team had a website but the people who run the UNH main site felt peeps were a bigger story than engineering students who built a car from scratch. Why are some people so partisan they are unable to see madness when it smacks them in the face? UNH is so far left they might as well be in Cambridge.

Jay - OI forgot to mention that the peeps and racing team issue happened 2 years ago. My son graduated in 2010.

Your memory seems to be flawed.

Actually true, it was over 10% (over the statistical error limit) the last congressional election. Poor Ayotte was staring at a pick-em statistic from UNH...she ended up steamrolling the dem stooge.

Problem with the Dems in this state is that they put forward the lamest of candidates. We all know that if the election were held today, Shaheen would be tossed out as well. I just don't get it. Lynch was one of the best governors we have ever had. I wished he either stayed in office or move on to congress. He represented us very well. Too bad the Dems can't produce another candidate with the capabilities lynch had...

Why is someone from North-Reading, MA (MIke Healey) STILL commenting all over NH patch sites?

remember the polls earlier this year in Wisconsin to recall Walker? All those polls had Walker losing the recall. The unions poured money and people into Wisconsin to recall Walker. All in vain

SV The unions poured in money???????? On what planet do you spend your time.
Outside super pacs featuring the Koch Brothers and Rove helped Walker outspend
the dems over four to one in that election.

That can't be safe to drink.

Yes, your post shows how open minded you are.....

Some people are so "open minded" their brains spilled out. Sorry Mike, but to support this president in any shape or form is to support open treason against the nation, so that makes a liberal who willingly does so a traitor to this nation.. truth hurts, but hopefully it will also awaken the blind, and maybe just get them motivated to save this nation from the self destructive path Obama is leading it down

We can all see your state of mind.

Couldn't agree more David. It doesn't get any more clear cut than Obama. He's a socialist whose policies (what a shock) do not work. And no Mike I don't have an "open mind" to socialism. It's wrong, it's destructive, and it's not up for debate or even compromise.

Lockheed Martin wanted to send out fake pink slips to sway the election, that great....

Mike, Fake pink slips. Where are the facts to back that statement up?

I love your tenacious search for facts from only one side sale m voter

Classic liberal... make a claim, someone questions it, attack the person.

No they are just tired of having the signs they post stolen or embarrassed by the hate that spills over in Salem from the far right radicals of lies and posts from Republican websites. Why not ask http://www.factcheck.org/? Cause they know the truth hurts! As it will in November when that Blue Rush comes over New Hampshire. Maybe not so much in Salem, NH but I would hope more than before. Salem NH Democrat's time to come out of the closet and show your support. Do not be afraid of these bullies we do have a new Bully Law in effect in New Hampshire.

Sounds like a personal problem Jane. Salem must be the pits, huh?

They have been very tight with the yard signs at my local Obama campaign office. Maybe because President Barack Obama is so far ahead in New Hampshire they are trying not to waste their resources, but I also heard that they want to give them out closer to the election so their appearance gets noticed. Romney signs have been lying in the weeds since the primary.

Mike Healey - You are too funny. Yeah - they are so far ahead they don't hand out signs even though we have had three months of job losses here in NH. Stay south of the border where you belong.

Jeannine,
You think I'm Mexican?
I'm not a big poll follower, but current polls give President Barack Obama a 15 percentage point lead in New Hampshire. If you were using that poll to make decisions, you wouldn't be wasting yard signs in a state that President Barack Obama has locked up.

More crap from the nutcase republican spin machine from the trolls on these pages.
New Hampshire’s low unemployment rate [a couple of months ago] they credited solely to the republican dominated legislature. 3 straight months of NH job losses and Presto Change-o. That’s all Obama’s fault! Jeannie, welcome aboard the right wing nut train that trolls these pages. You, like your buddies, crack me up. LOL

LJoel and Healey - If you're looking for crackpots just take a glance in your bathroom mirrors.
Healey - South of Border = MA

J.S.R.
You get called on your silly statement, so call us crackpots. Ouch! what a comeback.

Thats ok. eventually when gambling is approved for Salem, you have so much to look forward to...like turning your town into the outskirts of Atlantic City. Have fun with that jane

Mary Griffin must have figured out that being one of those Republicans who are "willing to listen to both sides" (aka "concede") gets you kicked out of office...real quick-like. After the 2006-2010 control of the state by Democrats, who laid waste to our state budget, Democrats are on the outside, and need to get on board.

Bipartisanship, eh? Not when you look at your voting records on 200 bills this session. It shows pretty clear lock-step with the House Speaker and his agenda to suck the life out of NH's economy, strip away our rights, and leave our education system in tatters. http://granitestateprogress.org/service/legislator-report-cards

Isn't Charlie a retread?

Charlie is one of the most corrupt politicians in the country and is a retread.
And Kuster is ahead in the polls. Celia defines "Bent over tax payers" as those
poor starving repressed millionaires and billionaires because neither Kuster nor
Obama have proposed raising taxes on hardworking middle class American families.
But Celia is a republican so....FACTS BE DAMMED!

Romney Is a Corporation Masquerading As an Individual for President

Corporations are NOT people!!!!!!!!!

http://www.conservapedia.com/Liberal_hate_speech#Roseanne_Barr

No Annie it is we who have to worry about you, your hatred of this nation and why you want it to fail so badly that you would reelect a traitor.

Not by conservatives - maybe by the left though. That's were the violence is coming from...

http://granitegrok.com/blog/2012/07/swing-away-maggie-swing-away

Skippy's right wing blog, grok, is your source? That is credible.....

Yes. Tire slashing is the least of your concerns with the far right extremists.
www.dailykos.com/story/2011/01/30/939874/-30-yea

dailykos is your source.... sure that's not biased at all

So Dave just which of those "dailykos" examples are you disputing?

my point is that the left as usual has double standards. You hold up a far left site like Daily Kos as irrefutable, but trash any right wing site. Check your sources, use your own brain, make your own decisions. And that goes for everyone, not just right or left.

And yes there are violent acts that have happened that could be labelled left or right, but in my estimation there is much more on the left. I'm sure you disagree.

I couldn't agree more Annie. In all of my years have never seen a country so divided. Remember all, that's why we draw that curtain and cast "our" vote. It's a personal and private decision that this fine country affords us!

"Use your own brain” That then goes for you as well. Use it.
I did not say my site was irrefutable. So refute it. You did said the article
was not creditable. So I ask again. Which of the examples of right wing violence are you disputing and what makes it not creditable? Oh I see!!!! It’s a LEFT leaning site!!!!! Got it!!! It sounds like you the right wing crazy is [as usual] the one with the double standard now doesn’t it.????

Hackbart..

try to follow along... Healey trashes the grok as being biased, then you post a link to DailyKos. I then note that DailyKos is biased. I also add the people should be aware of where the information they are allowing into their brains is coming from, and should use their own brain to analyze the information. I never refuted any of the acts of violence, in fact I stated that there have been violent acts on both sides.

All clear? Or do I need to 'splain it a third time?

You are correct about one thing David. I CAN'T follow along! In one breath you
chastise dailykos as being biased and then you turn around and say you can’t or will not refute its contents!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what we call talking out of both sides of your mouth son! You don't have to "Splan it "to me three times. Try " splaning it" RATIONALLY just once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More right wing violence reported today. It sounds much like the Tea Party violence
we saw in 2009.

Mike Healey - What does that article have to do with NH? We are discussing NH. Keep up.

Jeannine Stergios-Richardson - What does David Campbell's article have to do with NH? Keep up.

Thanks for the responses - all you right wingers have proven that I'm right to fear your actions.
How sad.

Equating a teacher asking a student to remove a political shirt at school with
murder, and beatings and shootings. OK Whatever.

What do you call anyone that is stupid enough to believe that little piece of crapola?
Nothing I can print here.

Ohio Romney 51% Obama 48%

Missouri Romney 49% Obama 46%

Virginia Romney 49% Obama 48%

Colorado Romney 49.4% Obama 45.9%

Florida Romney 49% Obama 47%

Obama and Democrats are falling apart

This will spill over to State and Local election. DUH

Flash loves making up poll numbers and then worshiping them.

www.electoral-vote.com/evp2012/Info/rasmussen.html

Rasmussen's polls were off by 5.8% with a bias of 3.9% in favor of the Republican candidates in 2010. This disparity is likely to grow as cell phones continue to replace land lines. Younger [more often democratic] voters do not have land lines. Rasmussen does not poll cell phone only users.
,www.electoral-vote.com/evp2012/Info/rasmussen.html

No D.O. you are once again, as usual, wrong. Now, for once in your life, how about you practice what you preach and YOU do some research!
www.addictinginfo.org/2012/10/01/rasmussen-methodology

On second thought don't research. Keep posting dumb comments. I rather enjoy
watching you humiliate yourself!

George W. Bush had record high gas prices, these prices only approach those numbers.

"The high prices are happening despite the fact that overall supplies in the United States are plentiful and oil prices have dropped 11 percent since mid-September largely due to concerns about the sluggish economic trends in China and Europe."

So you are saying Big Oil is gouging. I agree. The republicans should then stop
blocking regulations to curtail this practice. Tim you would make a great progressive!

Mr. Healey,

It seems California just beat G. Bush's record. However wasn't the price of gas under $2 on G. Bush's last day and under $2 on President Obama's first day also?

If you blame Bush for holding the record do you not also give him credit for lowering the cost at the end of his term? If he could lower it as a lame duck, why can't this Administration do the same?

Obama inherited a $1.84 gas price. It is now more than double that. This was all on Mr. Obama's administration...

Hilltopper Seamus. Hello! Anybody home upstairs????????????? Are we a little short on memory?????????????????????????
The greatest recession since the great depression hit this country- and thereby the world- [under President George Bush] caused millions of lost jobs, thousands of foreclosures, lost retirements, a crash of the stock market, unimaginable suffering, and yes, a world oil glut that caused gas prices to plunge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you two with straight faces, trying to tell us you would like another severe recession to lower gas prices????. IN THE NAME OF SANITY, PLEASE GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And you prefer the socialistic (communistic) approach of the Obama lackies?

You are dreaming.

Significant gains? How would you define success? Hassan as governor. Obama takes NH. The Dems get control of the state house or state senate or both...

"You are dreaming."
No NF I'm referencing polls
.

Yes, Seamus. That would tickle me pink. As for Dump Obama, well what can be said
about such a person?

125,000 irritated by Romney's incessant calling.

People are Hanging Up on Democrats. They know they are from "Out Of State"

Are you really this stupid not to research anything or do you hope that others are too stupid not to know the truth about your deceptive posts?

The only place that Romney is up by 2 is Rasmusen and there he only ever was down by .7 (keep in mind, Rassmusen has been a Republican biased poll for years). So that one case that you are talking about was a 2.7 gain, which is right in line with the shifts with all polls. So where Obama may have lead by 5, he now leads by around 2.5.

Are you really that stupid WATTS that you keep referencing a BLOG. How about something more credible for a change. fivethirtyeight is just a BLOG.

Was there some point in there Fishy?

Watts
Don't let those two jokes bother you. Dump says "you make this stuff up"
not realizing you were referencing a link. NF attacks you for using a "blog" as he
calls it, but he uses wild right wing crazy blogs all the time. I hope Watts, you find these clowns as comically entertaining as I do.

Watts, Romney went from being behind 5 points in the Gallup polls. It's not just Rasmussen that has Romney gaining ground.
In the most recent Gallup and Rasmussen polls they have the race as a tie.
The blog you posted yesterday was based on data that was a day old.

News Fish letting his schizophrenia slip again. He/she posts this based solely on a conservative blog site. Then an hour later posts this (look immediately above in this thread): "you keep referencing a BLOG. How about something more credible for a change. fivethirtyeight is just a BLOG."

As a response to something that I pulled from the most well regarded statistician; Nate Silver, published on one of the logest standing news institutions in this country. Yet this blog full of data and facts is somehow considered lesser by News Fish, than his referencing the blog site of local brain drain; Steve MacDonald.

Jeannine-You mean he cut Medicare Fraud, right? Otherwise, you are being disingenuous.

Cheryl = "established requirements?" Government rules to screw over hospitals. When they go broke what happens then?

Logic from J.S.R.
"They will go broke unless we allow them to cheat."

the recent wmur/unh poll (obama47/41)....57% of those polled were polled before the debate...lol

What is disturbing Watts is that none of what Samson posted is upsetting to you. I bet you're a government worker or some other type of low level union stooge.

what are the specific non-sequiturs you are referring to?

Most of this thread is non sequiturs from Bob Simpleton, News Fish and Churning Keefe (who I am sure is the same person as Bob Simpleton). There isn't any coherent discussion here, just embarrassing conservative spasticity. I picture these people (unless they have this on some automated server dedicated to spamming forums), as sitting there suffering from St. Vitus Dance with their bodies convulsing wildly and hammering out these posts, because they are unable to do anything else.

And yes, you did see that right when I said that I think that Cheryl and Bob are the same person. I think this is one person porting the most extreme stuff from both sides, just to draw people out to get under their skin. That is all any of these fools like News Fish, Dumpy, do on here. They can't conduct an actual, intelectual discussion. They are either kids or on the same mental par as kids.

That's what i thought the answer would be...nothing. Do you even understand what a non sequitur is? When faux intellectualism is exposed, it can get ugly...ask our President.

Well "american' it's 2 debates later, Obama won them both so eat your stupid words!

Hackbart - How old are you anyway? Your comments are becoming more and more childish. What's next? NA NA NA BOO BOO?

Now we blame the editor? Who Next? This is an open forum for folks to express and comment. I'm sure the editor carefully screens what is allowed to be posted. Why he hasn't blocked you is a mystery to many!

Nance - I couldn't agree more. Most people who continue to post disparaging remarks get banned on other boards.

Wow - You need to calm down. All this hatred you've got stored up over nothing will cause you to Olbermann and wander the NYC streets mumbling to yourself. You are an extremist and so are the "right wing" people you hate. The average Republican is nothing like you portray other than the ones you've invented in your own mind.

Wow! Easy on the caffeine. Yes, the collapse in '08 was caused by systematic risk in the financial sector. Now, what was that risk fanned by? It was the oversupply of a range of risky mortgage loans, which create the opportunity for that systematic risk - new product for Wall St. Now, what cause that oversupply? Government zealotry to facilitate EVERYONE to own a home, regardless of their ability to afford it. In essence, government intrusion into the marketplace (for over 20 years). Hell, I was able to get a loan for double what I could afford about 10 years ago. I'm paying it back, but I'm in the minority. Basic firewall and consumer protection regulation? Sure. Government manipulation and artificial restructuring of markets? No. // Just a quick observation: your anger and vitriol (not to mention incorrect generalizations) likely cause most people to blow right by your post, ensuring that your message NEVER comes across. That's rational, reasonable advice from a NH conservative :)

I have no idea how people continue to behave in such childish, adolescent manners. Could you people be anymore intellectually dishonest? Stop it; It's not ONE parties fault; saying so is precisely the reason the median income today is back down to what it was is 1968. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/13/inflation-adjusted-income_n_960588.html).. Yes Fox News is to blame; equally as much as CNN, MSNBC & ABC are as well.

Now this part is important, pay very close attention if you care about your future; or your families future. It may feel "good" to participate in sets of nonsense, ignorant, rhetorical emotional appeals but just when you attack someone on the internet because you don't like the conclusion of another person; Ad-verecundiam and ad-hominem fallacies are not valid responses, that's why they're called 'fallacies'. So quickly:

A) I am a licensed financial advisor (SEC & FINRA Series 7) and studied economics crashes for the greater part of my life (graduated with distinction University of Conn)
B) I'm Politically Objective; Independent where I never have, and will never, support either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. In fact, I will never vote for ANY of these people; because they equally have illustrated they are criminals who proven that through the continued sociopathic abuse, have absolutely zero integrity

(..)
C) The cause of the economic woes today and for the future to come can be boiled down to this: BOTH PARTIES HOLD ECONOMIC IDEOLOGIES THAT ARE IDENTICAL. It began with Clinton near the end of his term selling out at the end of his second term: Repealing Glass Steagal. George Bush's administration; primarily through Alan Greenspan took advantage of their positions to print unlimited amounts of money with new access to securities and created the dot.com bubble. What should have been a 4-12 month recession erroneously diverted through the new power of the central bank to pour massive amounts of money into financial institutions who made horrible investing errors who would have proceeded to go under. Under the the new power of the federal reserve, Greenspan decided to save his buddies by bailing them out through the power now presented to him. To do this he had to artificially lower interest rates to financial institutions to stay afloat. That dot com bubble was averted by infusing money to the very same institutions that should have collapsed; who then proceeded to keep these rates at all time record lows over the next few years to make sure his financial buddies could stay afloat. Well the same banks proceeded to do what they did before; now with encouragement invest irrationally in something new. Housing. Bush's administration multiplied the effect by deciding to enter two completely pointless wars through a deficit.

As the banks were infused with unlimited cash from a central bank; there was no need to attract the people's hard earned savings through CD's are traditional risk based loans. The other institutions who didn't fail soon merged or followed the lead by the Greenspan fed; why do we need petty working folk's savings when we have a printing press? The result was a direct incentive to invest AGAINST the customers through the same scheme that launched the dotcoms in 2000.

Greenspan retired in 2006; but his impact was not felt until the crash of 08. The problem? Bush then appointed Bernanke (who Obama re-appointed); who once again, REPEATED the same mistake as Bernanke multipled X50.Bush followed suit by issuing a fiscal banker bailout. When Obama came in, he decided to expand ALL THE SAME POLICIES. Obama issued the second banker bailout meanwhile the Fed behind closed doors was printing trillions, yes trillions, of dollars to decide which buddies would be bailed out for the horrible gambling gone wrong. Well; that's right, the same people again. Obama has worsened all of the mistakes that Bush made since then; with Bernanke once again directing the banks to form AN EVEN GREATER BUBBLE THAN THE HOUSING BUBBLE. That's the bond market itself.

And Obama, who by the way was funded by the Graveyard FInancial Institutions for his 2008 run. But under free market conditions; these guys would have been gone 12 years ago. Now Romney has stated that "Bernanke has done a good job averting a total collapse". Just like Bush said Greenspan did a good job preventing that 2002 dotcom recession. He didn't; he simply weakened us further and amplified the same mistake, yet again.

'
So please do shut up about blaming Republicans or Democrats. I really am tired of this adolescent attitude that allows the FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE to be completely ignored.

Jeannine-I believe our leaders do understand but expect/hope the people don't understand or care. Of course, I mean both parties.

Wrong Rasmussen has it 48-48 in NH

Romney signs all over Merrimack. Drove down Baboosic Lake Rd and there were at least 20 houses with Romney signs. Have only seen one Obama sign in town.

Why are the Obama fans so angry?

Wrong Rasmussen National Romney + .07

Those figures on Real Clear Politics actually include Rasmussen and weigh it very heavily (25% of average), so that 4.5 lead in New hampshire is actually inclusive of the traditionally Republican biassed Rasmusen poll figures. Without Rasmussen bringing the figures down, across all other polls, Obama would have an average lead of +6 in New Hampshire.

And I know how intellectually lazy you are to actually research anything, but if I am proving a link that includes the Rasmussen figures (which is obvious from the second that you look at the page at the link), you appear rather goofy to come back and say "wrong" and then reference the Rasmussen number as if it wasn't already in my post. That may work for people who are equally, intellectually lazy, but for anybody who would take the time to see the facts at the link, they would see how foolish you are with that type of response.

Good one fishy :-)

It is really cute when you two team up your comments. Ahhh...young love.

So the "liberal media" conspiracy theory has now spread to include certain members of the most conservative media sources in the nation, as being liberal. She calls herself a "liberal," but at the Washington Times, being the "liberal" is like being Shepard Smith at Fox.
