NH voters who voted "experience": 71% Clinton 5% Obama. Heavyweight vs Lightweight

Obama has a big problem. The MSM and PUKES painted a war hero as a national security lightweight. Imagine what they will do to Obama. Think about those numbers.

1. How many people chose experience as their top issue?

2. This has been the case

In both states so far. Obama isn't experienced in the traditional sense. That's not his platform. More telling, imo is the fact that dems consistently rank "change" as what they're most looking for in a candidate and consistently rate Obama way in front there.

4. Silly goose. The Republicans don't just paint people as security lightweights. They attack

candidates' strengths. Kerry's was his war record and foreign-policy expertise, so they hit him there.

14. It's a "true stat" sez who?

And how, exactly, was the issue framed to people taking the poll? What was the actual wording of the question?

I think this is another one of proud2b's "laughing all the way back to Free Republic, or WorldNet" posts.

M.O.: As casually as possible, lob a divisive post in a forum (like an incendiary device), without footnote or follow-up, and leave without ever having participated in the discussion.

15. Answering my own question, this was a FauxNews poll

URL of source:

this "...telephone poll was conducted for FOX News by Opinion Dynamics Corp. among 500 likely Democratic primary voters..."

From the same scientific polling organization (top results all linked to Faux):

11. What's really interesting is that few picked Richardson and NONE picked Edwards.

As far as how the Pukes paint people, what do you think they're going to do to Clinton's 35 Years of Experience (TM)? I've already gotten 2 of the chain emails going out mockingly comparing Clinton to Brett Favre's wife trying to be a quarterback because of her husband's experience. If anything, they'll attack her experience more than they'd attack his supposed lack. They go after our strengths remember?

12. Cheney and Rumsfeld...two of the most experienced tools you'll ever find

As for "experience", the MSM and the Repugs would love to make an issue of a First Lady touting experience clinking teacups in the parlor while the boys met in the conference room.

Voting for wars is something some people find a talent. I don't.

13. Numbers don't matter. They'll lie.

Don't expect anyone to turn on Obama for McCain if that's the lineup. It won't happen.
