Latest 2012 Presidential Polls – (pre-Washington Caucus eve) 2 Mar 12 Edition

02 Mar

Tomorrow Republican Tea Party (GOTP) types will vote for which of the four horsemen of the GOPocalypse they hope will win their party’s presidential nomination.

Willard Mittens Romney won Tuesday’s Arizona’s Winner Take All Primary with 29 delegates, and barely squeaked by in his home state of Michigan’s Hybrid Primary winning 16 of 30 delegates, while Ricky Santorum won the remaining 14.

In Washington’s Non-Binding Caucus with 43 delegates – 3 Mar 12; a new PPP (D) poll of likely voters conducted 29 Feb – 1 Mar 12: Romney 37; Santorum 32; Paul 16 and Gingrich 13 with 2% undecided.

Super Tuesday (6 Mar 12)

Alaska’s Proportional Caucus with 27 delegates; no polling info …

Georgia Proportional Primary with 76 delegates; SurveyUSA poll of likely voters conducted 23 – 26 Feb 12: Gingrich 39; Romney 24; Santorum 23 and Paul 9 with 5% undecided. Newt is showing a second wind, at least in his home state – for the moment.

Idaho’s Non-Binding Caucus with 32 delegates; no polling info …

Massachusetts Proportional Primary with 41 delegates; Suffolk/7News poll of likely voters conducted 11 – 15 Feb 12: Romney 64; Santorum 16; Paul 7 and Gingrich 6 and with 7% undecided.

North Dakota’s Non-Binding Caucus with 28 delegates; no polling info …

Ohio Proportional Primary with 66 delegates; Rasmussen Reports poll of likely voters conducted 1 Mar 12: Santorum 33; Romney 31; Gingrich 15 and Paul 11 with 10% undecided.

Oklahoma Proportional Primary with 43 delegates; Rasmussen Reports of likely voters conducted 21 Feb 12: Santorum 43; Gingrich 22; Romney 18 and Paul 7 with 10% undecided.

Tennessee’s Proportional Primary with 58 delegates; no polling info …

In Vermont’s Hybrid Primary with 17 delegates; Castleton State College poll of likely voters conducted 11 – 11 Feb 12: Romney 34; Santorum 27; Paul 14 and Gingrich 10 with 15% undecided

Virginia Hybrid Primary (where only Romney and Paul are on the ballot) with 49 delegates; a new CNU/Times-Dispatch poll of likely voters conducted 4 – 13 Feb 12: Romney 53 and Paul 23 with 24% undecided.

The regular season records for the gallant candidates: Romney 6; Santorum 3; Gingrich 1 and Paul 0 with Maine still unbelievably yet to be determined.

The GOTP Delegate Count to date is: Romney 154; Santorum 69; Gingrich 33 and Paul 26.

The current GOTP Popular Vote Count is:

Romney 1,749,677

Gingrich 978,229

Santorum 932,508

Paul 463,176

Nationally the GOTP Nomination according to the latest Rasmussen Reports poll of registered voters conducted 29 Feb 12: Romney 40; Santorum 24; Gingrich 16 and Paul 12 with 8% undecided.

So, how does each of the Four Horseman of the GOPocalypse stack up against the President? The latest Rasmussen Tracking poll of likely voters conducted 28 Feb – 1 Mar 12; if the general election were held today:

President Obama 48/Romney 42

President Obama 46/Santorum 43

If the GOTP clown car had finally stopped spinning, and the general election was held today, Mittens Romney would be the GOTP nominee, and he’d lose to President Obama in the general election.

Electoral maps are shaping up as follows:

Federal Judge forwards racist Obama email?

02 Mar

According to news reports Richard Cebull, Montana’s chief federal judge, has admitted to forwarding an email comparing African-Americans to dogs and implying that President Barack Obama’s mother had sex with animals.

Cebull’s email, obtained by the Great Falls Tribune, reads: “Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards, it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine.”

A joke then follows: “A little boy said to his mother; ‘Mommy, how come I’m black and you’re white?’ His mother replied, ‘Don’t even go there Barack! From what I can remember about that party, you’re lucky you don’t bark!'”

Reportedly Cebull then forwarded the offensive email from his official court account to six “old buddies,” who then forwarded to others.

In an interview with the Tribune, Cebull maintained he did not send the email because it was racist, but because it was ‘anti-Obama.’

“The only reason I can explain it to you is I am not a fan of our president, but this goes beyond not being a fan,” Cebull said. He agreed the email was racist, but said he personally was not.

“This is a private thing that was, to say the least, very poor judgment on my part,” he said.

Poor Judge Cebull, this isn’t a case of just “very poor judgment” it’s another in a long line of overt uber-conservative racism. The e-mail wasn’t critical of the President’s policies it was a slap at his race, and at his mother, and it’s beneath the office of a federal judge. You’re not some high school or college student making a mistake, you’re a federal judge sending racist emails about the President of the United States.

Cebull’s ability to rule on cases involving African-Americans is now seriously in question, and defense attorneys should begin reviewing their client’s cases to see if there was a chance rulings were made based, in any way, on race and should begin appealing those cases. Additionally, Cebull’s ability to rule on future cases involving African-Americans can now be called into question.  Cebull has demonstrated his lack of judgment, and he needs to step down.

Woman Denied Right to Speak at Contraception Hearing’s a ‘Slut’?

01 Mar

Right wing uber-conservative blow hole, Rush Limbaugh has once again shown his red neck classless upbringing calling the woman who was denied the right to speak at a controversial contraception hearing a “slut”.

Limbaugh’s current sexist target is Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown Law School, who was invited as a Democratic witness at a Congressional hearing about the Obama administration’s contraception policy. However, Darrell Issa, the uber-conservative Republican Tea Party (GOTP) committee chair at the hearing, prevented her from speaking, while only allowing a series of men to testify about the policy. Who in their right mind would think the GOTP House would, should or could be so openly obtuse and think no one would notice?

Reportedly Fluke was allowed to eventually testify before a Democratic hearing, and spoke about the need for birth control for both reproductive and broader medical reasons. She testified in particular a friend of hers who needed contraception to prevent the growth of cysts.

In Rusty Limbaugh’s drug addled mind Fluke wasn’t testifying about woman’s health needs she was promoting government sponsored casual sex.

“Can you imagine if you were her parents how proud…you would be?” he said. “Your daughter … testifies she’s having so much sex she can’t afford her own birth control pills and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope.”

Personally, I’d be very proud of either of my daughter were testifying about their rights before Congress.

“What does it say about the college co-ed Susan Fluke [sic] who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex — what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.”

Limbaugh needs to pull his head out of his fourth point of contact; if she was my daughter I’d be immensely proud, and I’d have already popped him square in his blow hole and served him with a law suit.

Where’s the outrage? Where’s Laura Ingraham’s call for Limbaugh to be suspended and demand that he apologize to this young lady? Or is it OK to call progressive woman sluts?  I guess it’s just another case of right-wing hypocrisy.
