Latest Polls: Coats 52% of the vote ~ Rebecca Sink Burris not on radar!

[melensdad]

Looks like in our state we will be getting Dan Coats as our Senator by a very wide margin.

That has what this election looked like since he won the primary. He's always been in the lead, he's always held a wide margin.

No matter how many members of INGO vote, we can't swing this election to Rebecca Sink-Burris. However we can SEND A MESSAGE to the GOP. There are 10,000+ on this forum. If we can get a reasonable number of INGO members to stand up, we can send a message to both the GOP and the Democratic party. A vote for the Libertarian Candidate for US Senate would send a message, and Rebecca Sink-Burris is that candidate.

So what is the message? Simple, its SMALLER and LESS RESTRICTIVE government that spends LESS and controls LESS.

If a GOP member crosses and votes for Ellsworth to send a message then that message will simply be lost in the "statistical rounding" component. If a Dem member crosses over and votes for Coats to send a message then that message will also be lost.

But if people vote for someone who has no statistical chance of winning then its possible to send a real message. As it is both the Dems and the GOP are expecting Ms Sink-Burris to attain about 3 to 4% of the total vote. They are expecting Coats to walk away with a big majority at something over 50% and they are expecting Ellsworth to have nearly 40% of the vote (after the undecideds actually decide).

But 5000 to 10,000 extra votes for Rebecca Sink-Burris could bump her up to 7, 8 or even 9% of the total. It could also drop Coats down to something under 50% (he's still win) and it could drop Ellsworth down under 33%. A big turnout for a third party sends a big message to the dominant party. It won't change the results but it will impact some future decisions.

By the way, it is actually possible that the Libertarian candidate for Indiana Secretary of State could WIN the election this year. That would also send some SHOCK WAVES through the 2 dominant parties. Please consider voting for Mike Wherry, LIBERTARIAN for Secretary of State.​

Polls are a joke, here is a poll of 500 likely voters that puts Rebecca at 62%.
Indiana Senate Race 2010

Everyone I know is voting for Rebecca. I even got my boss who is a die hard repub, saying he is going to vote for her, because he thinks coats is a landslide and doesn't like him very much....haha If votes here in Indiana are actually still counted and counted properly I think the state will be amazed at how much support she is really getting.

Polls are a joke...

Actually some of the better polling companies have been very accurate and consistently accurate over time. Rasmussen polling is among the most accurate and most widely credited polling firms because they are so accurate.

In fact I'd be willing to make you a reasonable bet, that is that if the final Rasmussen polls for the IN Senate race are off by more than 5% either way with Coat's vote count then I will print out your post and eat the piece of paper. But if your poll is wrong by more than 15% either way then you do the same.

I picked up Nuvo yesterday and saw that they had here picture in there. It was a terrible photo in which she was holding poodles or stuffed animals. Nuvo (I know, a way leftie rag) listed her as not even on the radar too and poked fun of her.

All the more reason to vote for the poodle-loving grandma.

I don't care what the polls say, I am voting Sink-Burris!

I can't believe the Indiana Republican party even let that lobbyist run!

 

[CombatVet]

Where is that poll from? I'd like to see several other polls out there. You can't take the word of just one poll, they're all biased.

That make two votes for her. That's a start.

I wouldn't be surprised is she can't garner more than 5% of the vote. I don't know where she's spending her efforts to get her name out, but if it weren't for this forum, I wouldn't even know she was running until this past week when the news mentioned the debates.

I'm not criticizing her efforts. Just an observation that I don't think she's made much progress in the name-recognition category.

it will be a bad day for this country to have coats back in office.

Make it a hat trick of votes, I'm in.

 

[Tripp11]

RSB earned my vote already...so we're at 4 now.

 

[gunowner930]

5 now. maybe somebody should make an INGO poll?

INGO poll. My thoughts exactly.

 

[Tryin']

RSB had my vote at the first debate. Seriously, someone do a poll!

 

[Jeremiah]

Actually the first debate made my vote waiver to noone, I don't like the fact that she supports term limits.

I agree. I havent seen a single bleep from her on my radar. Outside of INGO, I know of NO ONE who knows her.

And I was never able to see her Debates, so thanks to INGO, I know her name.

 

[mrjarrell]

Voting for Rebecca is a good thing. I seriously hope she breaks %5 this go around. Shoot, I'd really prefer that she win.
On a more serious note, the person who really needs 5% or better is the Libertarian Party candidate Mike Wherry. Breaking 5% in that race means a lot more. It really shouldn't be hard for anyone with a conscience to vote for him. The dem in the race is part of the blue machine. The rep in the race has already committed voter fraud and will likely be removed from office if he wins. Imagine, the person in charge of elections and stopping election fraud is already guilty of it. Is that really who people want in that position? Mike Wherry is actually a good candidate.

Agreed. If it weren't for INGO I don't think I would have heard of her. I have been anxiously awaiting a TV commercial or something.

From what I have read she has my vote. I just wish more people would get the same message.

 

[Bill of Rights]

I'm in. I'd not heard her name elsewhere, but it doesn't matter. I'm not voting either R or D in any race where I can vote an L. There's at least one race where I may not vote a R or a D even though there is no L running.

I'd sure love to see both of the bickering little boys left with their jaws on the floor as she was sworn in to the Senate, though.

Go, Rebecca, go!

Blessings,
Bill

This. I've not seen her name anywhere but on this forum. I think she's been too busy preaching to the choir!
