Is it me or is this KCCI poll and story a laugh?
A new KCCI poll released on Thursday shows the race for Sen. Charles Grassley's seat appears to be heating up even before the Democratic primary.
Grassley is still leading the race with 49 percent, but Roxanne Conlin appears to be closing in with 40 percent.
"In no re-election race has Grassley had less than 65 percent of the vote, so his races are always walks in the park," said Dennis Goldford, KCCI political analyst.
Oh, yes, Dennis Goldford. From Drake University.
He's a real winner.
Check out some of the comments on Goldford from RateMyProfessor.com:
Goldford is not easy and can be very cocky.
Goldford has to be the most arrogant teacher i have ever encountered. The class is dry and boring. In the end the only thing that is made clear is that Goldford thinks very low of you and what you are capable of accomplishing.
It is clear Professor Goldford is a very intelligent man, but nobody knows this better than Goldford himself. It's clear to see that he has a very large ego.
Goldford is an egotist. He teaches his opinion as fact, and only wants you to repeat his own thoughts. He doesn't want to initiate discussion, or create intellectual development, he just likes to hear his own voice.
doesn't let you think for your self. Must write exactly what he wants in the way that he wants it, in order to get a B-.
Does Goldford pay these people to put positive reviews? I didn't meet anybody that would write anything like this behind his back. These people really buy into his theory, but when they start criticizing other peers they are only stooping to his level of ignorance. The truth is he sucks as an undergraduate professor and he's NOT almighty.
It's a shame that most Politics majors have to take Goldford at some point. Very unhelpful out of class.
Professor is classic egomaniac, and extremely orthodox. You better be a liberal or a conservative for this class, and that means only democrat or only republican. If you question the status quo, you threaten this guys very reason for existing.
Take this class, if you would like to meet the devil incarnate. Spoonfeed this baby back all the crap he serves you if you want to do well. He loves himself and what he says and wants to read his own ideas in your papers. What a prick.
I had Dr. Goldford four years ago, and I can still remember how much I despised his course. He spends most of his lecture time advertising his own credentials and seems more concerned with intimidation and self promotion than teaching his students.
Totally unhelpful. Arch-typical ivory tower dwelling elitist who thinks he's Gods gift to the unwashed cretins around him. Avoid him like the plague.
But that's not the only douchebag that KCCI relies on for political thoughts:
Iowa State University political science professor Steffen Schmidt said the debate over health care reform may have had an impact on those poll numbers.
What kind of moron thinks that opposing health care reform would bring down Grassley's numbers? 54% oppose it in the latest Rasmussen poll.
Grassley's numbers are down because he's a corrupt old fart who has been in politics forever, not because of anything else.
But at least he's not a rapist-enabler like Roxanne Conlin.
As far as the numbers are concerned, Grassley grabs more Democrats than Conlin does Republicans, and the Independents swing hugely towards Grassley.
What are we talking about? Conlin doesn't have the nomination. Sure, she can raise money, but that's not going to translate to a victory.
