The Daily Caller's Matthew Boyle reports that emails between senior officials at The Gallup Organization, show senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod attempted to intimidate the polling firm when its poll results found Mitt Romney leading President Obama.
According to Boyle, after Gallup declined to change its polling methodology, Obama's Department of Justice hit it with an unrelated lawsuit.
You really must go to the Daily Caller and read some of what is in the emails. Here is a teaser:
"In response to that email, a third senior Gallup official said he thought Axelrod's pressure "sounds a little like a Godfather situation."
"Imagine Axel with Brando's voice: "[Name redacted], I'd like you to come over and explain your methodology. You got a nice poll there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it."
In a second email chain titled "slanderous link about Gallup methodology," another senior Gallup official noted that a Washington Examiner story on Axelrod's anti-Gallup tweet was "on Drudge right now," before writing that the episode was "so politically motivated, it's laughable."
"As they say in b-ball: he's trying to work the refs," that official wrote to other senior Gallup staffers. "What a joke. Axel's had a bad week. He got in the middle of the Ann Romney thing. Then said the country is going in the wrong direction. (Oops!) Now he's swinging at us."
The Axelrod vs. Gallup story is more evidence that Obama is losing and the campaign is desperate. The Good news is that Gallup did not cave in to the attempted "intimidation" and now the story is public. Does the Axelrod vs.Gallup story explain why we have seen so many skewed polls during this campaign?
[Washington Times reporter Kerry] Picket reported that Gibbs said he was unaware of any communications between the Obama campaign and Gallup.
Was Gibbs lying to Picket? Was he misinformed? The emails suggest its one or the other."

tucker carlson's daily caller does it again, one of the finest pieces of independent journalism this nation has produced since barack obama became president
ie, tucker has the emails
last week, tucker's caller broke the bombshell that barack obama, in chicago, 1995, was the "subrime pioneer," from info scooped from "previously unpublished court records" showing that then acorn activist obama, in his role as "lead plaintiff attorney" in the antidiscrimination lawsuit against citibank on behalf of 186 named plaintiffs and all other chicagoans in comparable class, won a settlement that awarded subprime mortgages to the 186 african americans damaged by citibank redlining, more than half of whom eventually went thru foreclosure and/or bankruptcy, a failure rate double that of the general african american population paying off subprime loans in the windy city
http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/03/w...subprime-loans-to-chicagos-african-americans/
indeed, only 19 of the 186 are currently paying off those unaffordable loans "won" for them by lead attorney obama
of course, this new knowledge that barack obama was once the leader of the subprime push, replete with fingerprints, forensics (ie, previously unpublished court records) has NOTHING to do with the 2012 presidential campaign
LOL!
no, this particular election is really all about todd akin, clint eastwood and sandra fluke's birth control pills
anyway, tucker's caller this week published emails from within gallup discussing the attempt of the ax to intimidate america's most prestigious pollster cuz the white house didn't like what bill clinton would call "the arithmetic" coming out of the surveys and appearing on drudge
chicago thuggishness?
more like leningrad, 1917
when the employees at gallup laughed off axelrod's threats, eric holder, in true mafioso fashion, sued:
USDOJ: US Government Joins False Claims Act Lawsuit Against the Gallup Organization
is this the hope and the change you voted for?
do you really believe americans are NOT onto obama's, axelrod's and the ram's strong-arm ways?
and do you really think stalinist threats against the pollsters at gallup are, umm, smart?
embarrassed yet?
who cares
57 days...
