#27, actually I’m not a racist and I am support the Obama/Biden ticket. However, race is what makes Davis a loser candidate statewide, this is Alabama. Even if the race issue is tossed aside what does Davis have other than a Harvard Law Degree? Nothing. His upcoming marriage is politically motivated and can you name one good thing he has done for the black belt. Fact is, Davis is a great DC politician but not a good AL politician he just needs to stay in DC.

Regarding comment #59 and the names of the Republicans in the head-to-head matchups above, there was no guesswork involved.

#57 is wrong again. Talked to Davis and Sparks people who were with both all weekend and say they absolutely did not speak. Sparks was upset with Doc Johnson because he initially thought that the “mistake” was that the poll had him running better. Actually, it had him running worse.

#59 is just as bad. Davis’ people say Johnson gave him the data on the Rs. Waitand see if Dr. Johnson ever issues any correction on the R numbers.

Interesting that even the Davis detractors here don’t dispute that he leads the Rs.

It is also my understanding that the six Republican matchups are just guesses. Artur’s people know who the 6 R’s were, but not which of the 6 each matchup is.

Sparks scores very favorable on the statewide poll. Higher higher positives than Davis, but Folsom beats everyone on name ID.

Alls I know is that Ron Sparks and Davis had a very intense discussion on Friday and Sparks wasn’t happy at all.

Comment #53 is essentially correct. As noted in the post above, I have edited the text to show that the identity of the 3rd Democrat has not been confirmed.

By the way, notice how guarded Dr. Johnson’s comment is in comment 49. Doesn’t exactly sound like a full scale rebuttal.

Davis is rattling the Dem insiders in Montgomery. I doubt these numbers hold once the heat of a campaign starts but its sleaze to suggest that Davis cooked numbers when whoever posted #51 probably knows better.

Great,looks like Folsom v. Davis is going to be two nasty years. How depressing. Both are good Democrats and deserve better.

#51 is way off base–here’s the deal on the AEA info, as sources from AEA, Davis and Sparks are telling it. What is inaccurate about the data Danny posted is that Sparks is actually not the third guy listed, its apparently Seth Hammett or David Bronner, more likely Hammett. Sparks actually ran even worse.

The Davis numbers are accurate in both the primary and general and the AEA folks know it. Apparently, AEA has been under pressure to sit on these numbers to avoid puffing Davis who is not Hubbert’s guy.

Dr. Johnson shouldn’t have hung out Davis on comment 49 when he knows better. Danny was right to stand by his post.

This is about the 3rd time Davis and/or his cronies have done this. They’ve released portions of other polls in an attempt to make him the inevitable Democrat nominee. Davis needs to come clean and answer how he is allowed to use his resources as a congressman to start running for Governor 2 years out.

Rumor in Montgomery is that Davis’ people altered the poll to put Davis in the most favorable light. Davis called Folsom and Sparks this morning and apologized.

Dr. Johnson,

I am aware that the CSRC did not release the data, but we are both aware that pieces of the report are circulating. I will check the data again to see what quibble anyone could have with the info presented here, but enough regular readers have seen the results and seen this presentation of them that I am confident we would have been alerted to substantive errors.

I welcome any clarification that you would like to offer.

Thank you.

Danny
