El Paso Times Poll, The Reuel Group, and Feed Back from the Voters

I have been out campaiging all day and just got back from a forum in Fabens where the AUDIENCE wiped up the floor with Esparza. He got to confront a whole room of people, mostly the poor and middle class farmers whom he had wrongfully prosecuted and who were eventually found not guilty. They spent fortunes proving their innocence. It was an ugly sight for Esparza coming face to face with his handiwork. THEY LET ESPARZA HAVE IT.

On the Times' poll. Here is what one person just e-mailed me regarding the veracity of the polls generated by the Reuel Polling Group and published by the paper. It is obvious the paper does not want change in this community. They endorsed almost every incumbent. Do not let them fool you.

Here is what one person who e-mailed wrote:

"Dear Theresa,

"I just read the trash article/poll in the slimes. Don't be discouraged, this was posted on a blog about the Margo-Haggerty race:

'Campaign Polling Numbers

Show Pat Haggerty in Lead to Win Reelection

Tom Craddick Has 4:1 Negative Name ID

El PASO – Internal campaign polling numbers from the State Representative Pat Haggerty campaign paint a very different picture than those released by the autodial survey conducted by the El Paso Times/News Channel 9 and reported on Sunday. Haggerty campaign surveys have used “live interviews” instead of the machine-automated surveying done by the El Paso Times/News Channel 9, which may account for the newspaper poll’s unusually high percentage of undecided voters.

Haggerty’s numbers showed him ahead 46% - 37% among Republican Primary voters with only 17% undecided on a poll conducted in December. And on a February tracking poll Haggerty continued to lead 48% to 42% even after his opponent, Dee Margo, had spent over $200,000 on a massive TV, radio and mail campaign.'

The slimes has and agenda and they tell the Reuel Group what answer they want. I've had the conversation with a partner in the Reuel group and he has told me, 'I can get any answer I want.'

Sincerely,

A voter
Westside"

Here is what another e-mailer wrote. This is an e-mail she set to Esparza and copied to me.

"Dear Mr. Esparza

Unfortunetly, I am disappointed with the facts that Ms. Caballero have present facts against you, in which you havent been able to do. As a voter and a tax payer it makes me wonder what you have been doing for the city of El Paso for the past 16years because at this point all you have been doing is taking care of you and the people that contribute to your campain. I am against the DIMS program since it started, I voted for you to be in a District Attorney not a Judge. For the next few month that you will be attending your current position, start working like a District Attorney and learn to be fair to all people regardless of the level of living in El Paso. At the end of the day we El Pasoans pay taxes and shouldn't be treated any different then the people that contribute your campain, because they too pay taxes.

Voter and Tax Payer

WOW! She gets it.

Don't be fooled Voters. The fight is on. The Times polls are often very, very wrong. They had Wardy up by 2-1 against Cook. Who is mayor now? These polls only poll those with land lines and who are traditional voters. These polls are NOT scientific and are outdated. The Reuel Group is on the payroll of the Times as well as Jaime Esparza. The Reuel Group, 760-5566, is conducting Esparza's phone banks asking people to vote for him. Real neutral poll. Can we say conflict of interest? The Times itself said they polled only "possible voters." Who are they? Next year's 18 year olds or next year's citizens? Or is it David Crowder calling himself 300 times? Many voters only have cell phones. Plus many new non-traditional voters are going to come out because of the presidential races and the backlash against the incumbents.

Get the VOTE out for me starting tomorrow. Vote for Reform and Justice. Vote for Theresa Caballero for District Attorney!
