Professor Michael Fauntroy Discusses the Presidential Election
When attempting to understand the 2012 presidential election, you might want to head out and listen to those who do this sort of thing for a living. Far too much analysis on major networks is done by people who don’t have backgrounds in the areas that they are discussing. Not that the analysis on the air is always garbage, but we must remember that much network analysis is done for the sake of entertainment, rather than the goal of being informative.
Michael Fauntroy is Michael K. Fauntroy is an associate professor of public policy at George Mason University, where he teaches courses in urban policy, civil rights policy, and American government. Prior to joining the faculty at GMU, he was an analyst in American national government at the Congressional Research Service (CRS). At CRS, he provided research and consultations for members and committees of Congress. From 1993 to 1996, he was a civil rights analyst at the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, where he conducted research on major civil rights issues.

This debate is rigged! Personally, I think those caucasoids are gonna ask questions they have given Willard, so he won’t look dumb and stupid!
Y’all know they ain’t gonna let this white boy look ignorant in front of a Black man or their own kind! How come there are no Black commentators? The last Black commentator was back in 1992, and it was a Black woman; not a Black man! NO Black
man has been a commentator for a presidential debate!!!
These yankees are ALL in this thang together, so this debate is gonna be a front, and these crackers are gonna ask questions that Willard can answer and has rehearsed!
My Dad always told me ‘don’t believe everything you hear, and half of what you see.’
What we ‘see’ and ‘hear’ tomorrow; don’t beLIEve it!!!
If these serpents are stealing votes NOW, just think what they are going to STEAL tomorrow night!
Peace
Bernard Shaw was a commentator when Michael Dukakis ran for President. He is an African American.
ARE THE POLLS BEING SKEWED? I did wonder…. with the country in the worse shape than I can remember..the Middle East and parts of Africa in flames..U. S. embassies attacked and U. S. personnel murdered, deaths of U. S. soldiers in Afghanistan..the continuing high unemployment numbers, Libya announcing Sharia Law…that all of the MSM polls showed Obama leading Romney…..

There are now only 43 days until the election and the media is working very hard to cover for Obama – whether it be about his failures on the economy or his failures in foreign policy.
In an attempt to discourage you they keep suggesting that the Romney/Ryan ticket is finished, and point to their own polls to show how great Obama is doing in this campaign. But there’s a catch – and you need to know about this. What they are doing is deliberately oversampling Democrats in their polls to produce the skewed results they want.
This is how they do it: After they poll Americans about their presidential preferences, they then go and weight the polls to over-sample for Democrats. In the ABC News/Washington Post poll, for instance, they claimed that only 24% of Americans would were Republicans. And so they made their presidential election polls to reflect a turnout that would be just 24% Republican. We know this is all complete nonsense.
