I was blisteringly angry following the latest NH debate…

…the review of the talking heads and other pundits, when Frank Luntz’s “Faux-cus Group”, erm.. excuse me, focus group present Romney as the untouchable scion to the mantle of Ronaldus Magnus.

And the “show of hands” by a panel of “undecided voters” (and therefore presumably unbiased, as well) .

Let’s see how unbiased they actually are:

No bias going on there, ya think? Who is paying this guy to shill with such great theatrics - Mitt’s campaign, or Fox News Channel?

Watch and see this video which has been making the rounds on RedState, TownHall, and other conservative web forums:

The telling thing here, is the apparent inclusion of the SAME guy from the first NH debates a few months ago as last night. Some of the Ron Paul supporters (arguably incensed that their guy was summarily excluded by Fox News Channel) have also indicated that some or all of the focus group members were in fact, paid actors.

Whether that is so remains to be determined… but I do smell something stinky coming from the “Live Free or Die” state, and it sure as heck ain’t my kid’s diapers.

Not to knock on Romney too hard… he didn’t crack as badly under the multiple attacks he faced from the other candidates as he did in the previous debate; but he wasn’t absolutely stellar either.

It’s not the first time Luntz comes off as a shill for Romney either:

In last night’s debate, I see no clear winner who stood head and shoulders above the rest; all did reasonably well, with the possible exception of McCain’s occasional barb, and Huckabee getting flustered at turns.

But the pandering and Luntz not even making the pretence of impartiality as he pointed to the “pander-o-meter” cresting at each golden word falling from Mitt’s carefully glossed lips seemed hokey at best, and staged at worst.

Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks that Luntz is a propagandist shill who is paid to deliver… the numbers:
