re: Louisiana Governor's debate at UL-L in game thread

quote:

---

In the two polls since Lyin' Eddie went negative JBE jumped up to 46% and the undecided vote jumped 12%. 48% of those undecided voters said they were leaning toward JBE. That poll only dealt with the primary. (0.46 + (0.12 * 0.48)) * 100% = 51.76%. That poll also had a 4.2% MOE which puts HBE within the MOE from winning in the primary. The poll released today had JBE at 47% and 8% undecided. Plus it had an MOE of 2.9% which puts him within a c***'s hair of winning in the runoff. Prior to Lyin' Eddie going negative, JBE was topping out at 48% when you added in the undecided vote that was leaning toward him.

That has more to do with the debate than the negative ad.

I was going with Abraham 100% until I saw the debate, Abraham was a bumbling buffoon. Eddie on the other hand was articulate, to the point and seemed to have a plan.

The sad part is that there is a ton of people that don't know the candidates, such as myself, util you see them in a debate. Abraham may be a good man, but he is a horrible candidate, no wonder his campaign keeps him hidden.
