Undecided voters in Frank Luntz focus group swing sharply toward Romney

Tonight, pollster Frank Luntz assembled a focus group consisting of undecided Colorado voters. By the end of tonight’s debate, the group had moved dramatically toward GOP nominee Mitt Romney.

At least half a dozen focus group members who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 now say they will vote for Romney. Virtually everyone in the group said that Romney won the debate and exceeded their expectations.

Luntz, who has been in the polling business for at least two decades, says he has never seen such a dramatic shift in opinion as a result of a debate.

Adorable!

As Twitchy readers know, Hot Air’s Mary Katharine Ham scored when she announced the birth of her baby girl, Hammer-style. Twitchy readers also know that she rightly blasted Bill O’Reilly for bringing up her daughter in a marijuana debate.

An Instagram troll brought that up. And this happened:

Fight like a mama grizzly? You betcha!

No match for the hammer, troll.

Maher: Nobody cares about Saudi beheadings because the Saudis have oil

http://twitter.com/#!/billmaher/status/507388174910251009

Saudi Arabia’s criminal justice system is far from perfect, and there is some truth in Maher’s claim that the country’s internal affairs would undergo more scrutiny if not for its oil. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia’s beheading of convicted criminals (mostly drug traffickers) seems to us to be on a different moral plane than ISIS’ beheading of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff. Keep in mind, too, that the people beheaded in Saudi Arabia weren’t American. Surely, that is a more important factor than oil in explaining America’s indifference.
