Frank Luntz Having Problems Finding Coakley Supporters for Focus Group

Heh! This is kind of funny.

Martha Coakley is already whining about voter irregularities. In fact, she wrote the press release yesterday. But she isn’t complaining about any of the strange behavior by her own supporters. But that isn’t what has me doubled over in laughter. It’s the report that Frank Luntz is having trouble in Massachusetts finding supporters of the Democrat in the Senate race. What a hoot!

Just about every election night, Republican pollster Frank Luntz assembles a focus group of likely voters to help predict election results. Tonight you can see Luntz interview an assembly of Massachusetts voters on Fox at 9:10 p.m. EST.But you probably won’t see all the work that went into it. As of late this afternoon, Luntz was still scrambling to balance his focus group with supporters of Democrat Martha Coakley. “I just lost another one,” Luntz growled over his cell phone from a hotel ballroom at Logan Airport. In the last 24 hours, six Coakley voters have dropped out. By contrast, Luntz hasn’t lost a single supporter of her opponent, Scott Brown.

The problem isn’t money. “They’re getting paid well,” Luntz says, “probably more than they’re making at their jobs. And they still don’t want to do it.”

Instead, says Luntz, they’re ashamed. “They don’t want to be on television defending Martha Coakley. It’s passé. It’s socially unacceptable. I never dreamed I’d see Democrats in Massachusetts embarrassed to admit they’re Democrats.” …

Voters in Massachusetts are embarrassed to go on television and admit they are Democrats! They’re even passing up pay! This is surreal.

    LC I am hoping she gets clobbered tonight which will send a very strong message to Obama and his pinheads! C’mon Scott Brown!

    Evidently, he had a hard time finding ACTUAL residents of Massachusetts as well. This took place in Boston??? Hardly a single person in the focus group had even the slightest New England accent (except for a woman in the back who disagreed with Luntz and the rest of the crowd). The jig was up when an overzealous kid blurted out, “I just lost my health insurance!” which, of course, is impossible in the state of Massachusetts that already has socialized health care thanks to Mitt Romney. Yet another sham perpetrated by Luntz and Hannity. No surprise, they’ve been ruining our credibility for years!
