A focus group set up for Thompson?
Submitted by aw3d on Fri, 01/11/2008 - 00:36
I thought the "focus" group was a set up to improve Thompson's numbers and to slam Paul. Did you notice everyone said Paul lost the debate in unison when asked who lost? All they talked about was Thompson. I guess if they can rise Thompson in the polls and get Paul polling last, then FX will have a good excuse to exclude him from other debates.
Oh ya, how embarrassing for FX after the focus group said Dr. Paul lost the debate and then the text vote showed him winning with 35%! No more Paul talk after that.!

Time to demoralize Romney
and fade Huck out.
The MAN wants Guiliani vs Clinton vs McCain/Lieberman vs Bloomberg
with a Hillary victory.
Election rigging isn't an exact science yet, and Hillary can't win in a two man race.
Copy and paste this and talk to me in the summer.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.
Too obvious!
That focus group's almost *unanimous* choice of Thompson as the winner was so obviously manipulated, it's a joke! It's so transparent to anyone that watched, I'm glad Fox did it. I laughed out loud. Then when they unanimously chose the great Dr. Paul as the loser, I rolled on the floor laughing. I mean really, everyone who supports any of the candidates other than Thompson just got educated on Fox's "fair and balanced" reporting. And for those that don't know, that Frank Luntz who leads these focus groups is a professional manipulator of opinions.
It was an obvious set up.
It was an obvious set up. And the little prick asking Dr. Paul if he was electable got has ass handed to him.
I thought Dr. Paul hit it out of the park with that line about borrowing ten billions from China to give to Musharraf a military dictator who over threw an elected government in Pakistan...

Undecided or Switchers?
I remember Luntz saying the group was made of Likely Republican Voters®, but I didn't catch if he said they were (supposedly) Undecideds. If they were Undecideds, then why did he ask them if any of them "switched" their vote? You don't "switch" if you're Undecided, you "choose".

Group-think
Undecided voters are, as you might suspect, generally people without very strong convictions who don't do a lot of research. So they are very susceptible to not only what the moderator wants them to say, but what the rest of the group will approve of. So they pick up on small differences in preference and magnify them. "Someone liked Fred's response? Yeah, I can see that... oo, he didn't like what Paul said, I think he has a point." Eventually you get people shouting in unision that Fred won and Paul lost.
Then how do you explain them
Then how do you explain them praising his one-liners, then they come back and say they praise his detailed answers. Did I miss that half. These people were not a true random focus group. Hell nobody buy the graph either. Every debate he show RP having the lowest ever recorded reading.
I know, it sickened me.
I know, it sickened me. They never asked the question, "who lost" in any other focus group before. This was specifically setup to make RP look like idiot. Why were all the questions about only RP and Thompson? He asked them about no other candidates. We have to deal with this scab.
