Linda McMahon gets 32 words, Rob Simmons 17 words and Peter Schiff 0 words.
Perhaps this slanted coverage will motivate Peter's troops to work harder this weekend for the August 10, 2010 Connecticut US Senate Republican Primary. Linda's supporters and signs are clearly visible. One of Linda's supporters gives her a kiss. Peter is shown from the back talking to a Pizza man.
Linda: "I really believe how important this election is and I have the ability to fund it myself with money that I have earned and I believe that it helps me be independent. "
Rob: "I believe that political races are about winning and losing. They're not to be bought and sold"
Peter:" "
Linda is shown surrounded by hundreds of adoring fans with her signs. Rob is shown talking to one person. Peter is shown by himself. Compare this video to the video interviews done by the Norwich Bulletin.
If this so called coverage is fair then how can we even believe the so called polls? Where is a recent Rasmussen poll?
Reality. Final Results. Peter Schiff 23%, Rob Simmons 28% and Linda McMahon 49%.
The last poll the day before the primary election had Peter at 15%. Don't believe everything you see on TV next time.
Peter had gone from 2% name recognition up to 49% in less than a year. Next time in 2012 it will be 100% at the start of the race. Rob Simmons only beat Peter in his old Congressional District and came in behind Peter everywhere else. All but one of the local newspapers endorsed Rob Simmons. Peter's name is still banned from the airwaves. Linda spent $22 million but consistently refused to do battle. Hopefully next time in 2012 Peter won't have to waste time gathering signatures to get on the ballot. If Linda loses in November 2010 she will probably run again in 2012 but then Peter will be right when he said that she cannot possibly beat Blumenthal. If Linda wins in November than she and her millions of dollars won't be a factor in 2012.
Thanks to everyone who called, listened to our calls, donated and volunteered. Everyone who I met at the Tuesday night party in Milford thought that it was a good effort and that this is the launch pad for 2012.
Let Freedom Ring
Schiff should have won, if not Schiff than Simmons, McMahon sucks.
