Why give a crap about focus groups, look at these people!!!
 

---

Found this on Michelle Malkin, man she was reading my mind. I was watching Lutz last night and rolling my eyes at these people in his focus group. I’m an obsessively skeptical person anyway. Sue me! LOL!

Free Republic posters and several other readers have sent along a video showing an “undecided” member of Frank Luntz’s focus groups who showed up at both the Sept. 5 New Hampshire debate and last night’s NH debate. Anyone recognize the dude? HA’s Bryan and Allah mull over accusations that one campaign or another planted the guy. BP: “He seems more like a Greg Packer figure if anything, a legitimate private citizen who turns up in the press because he sets out to do that on his own.” AP: “Some of the Freepers are wondering if he’s a “professional” focus group member…Obviously that would be a problem.”Yep. I think Frank Luntz, not any of the campaigns, is the one who needs to answer the questions about who Mr. Undecided is–and how he managed to end up in both focus groups. Transparency about how all of the people in the room ended up there would be wise.

This is interesting to me, because I have from time to time been checking out when this dude has his focus groups and asking these “professional” listeners their opinions on what they just heard from the participants of a given debate.

You have to ask yourself, what is the point of a focus group? Why do I give a shit what some old white dude in New Hampshire thinks about how some candidate answered a question and who he thinks is the “better” candidate?

These focus groups are slightly comical and Lutz is simply taking advantage of the one time where what he does is somewhat relevant.

Snoop is just curious. If you know who you are supporting and you have all of the 411 on your candidate and you understand his or her strengths or weaknesses, would listening to someone else interpret what you may or may already know sway your thinking?
If listening to the collective analysis of a focus group can indeed sway your thinking then just how fucken confused are you?

I’m sorry for repeating, but I find it fascinating that with each passing day, people are STILL learning about the candidates.
Thousands of hours of round the clock coverage on several networks, thousands of websites and blogs, almost constant analysis of these people and even people who are interested in the process and genuinely care about their choices still only know basic surface information on these candidates.

With Obama rising in the polls and Hillary dropping or Huckabee rising and Romney dropping in the polls just what have people “learned” about Obama or Huckabee that makes them better candidates today than they were 8 months or even a year ago?
Their political and professional records have not changed; Obama is still no more qualified today, and he is still a flaming liberal.

Since Huckabee is the one Republican that I will not support under any circumstances I’ll focus some recycled venom his way.

Huckabee is still the dude who released 1033 felons (more than all neighboring states combined) including 15 murderers and serial DUI offenders for political favors.

Huckabee is still the dude that released one of the men only to have him killed again?

Huckabee is still the dude who concluded that the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba was bad for businesses then later flip flopped on that little issue.

Huckabee is stil the dude who encouraged Mexico to put a consulate in Little Rock facilitating illegal immigration and even arranging for sweet lease terms.

Huckabee is stil the dude who championed Bush’s Amnesty plan, he of course said that those that opposed “it is driven by sheer racism” and then flipped flopped on this issue(making all those Hispanics mad by the way thank you very much).

Huckabee is still the dude who said Gitmo was better than Arkansas Jails only to later call for it to be shut down after meeting with Terrorist sympathizers? 

Huckabee is still the dude who claimed a well respected former UN Ambassador was advising him.  So what if that was not the first time he told a white lie about foreign policy advisers?

Huckabee is still the dude who did not know what an NIE was, the geography of Pakistan, nor the Martial Law status in that VERY important country.

He is leading in the polls because mindless dolts continue to be charmed by happy talk rhetoric and fake ass Jesus pimping talk. Let me be clear on something, no true man of God gives up his calling to promote the views of the gospel and trade that for the cold calculating, egotistical showbiz grind that is politics.

How much do you wanna bet that Huckabee used a focus group to determine that there were enough clueless moronic people who could be suckered into completely ignoring the true facts about his background and subsequently could be swayed into swallowing the mindless snake charming drivel dude spits out of his mouth on the campaign trail.
