Lunchtime roundup

This day in history.
In 1967, Massachusetts Republican Edward W. Brooke, the first black elected to the U.S. Senate by popular vote, took his seat.

So why do they continue to support Democrat candidates?

It is an old poll from September, but still stands up IMHO.
Former U.S. Sen. Fred Thompson led among candidates when UPI-Zogby International poll respondents were asked who could bring stability to Iraq.

Suprisingly Obama came in 3rd on this question.
Thompson -- at 14 percent -- led among independents with Giuliani (10.5 percent) and Obama (8.1 percent) the only other candidates to get more than 6.3 percent support from that poll subset. Still, among independents, "not sure" came out on top at 24.8 percent.
There is a 1.2 percentage-point margin of error in the poll, which was conducted Sept. 7-10.


The most trusted national TV news organizations, for accurate reporting, in declining order included: Fox News (27.0%), CNN (14.6%), and NBC News (10.90%). These were followed by ABC News (7.0%), local news (6.9%), CBS News (6.8%) MSNBC (4.0%), PBS News (3.0%), CNBC (0.6%) and CBN (0.5%).

FoX news come out almost 2 to 1 over the next closet CNN. You can find MSNBC just barely showing up.
