Into the muck
The fact that anyone – a candidate, someone acting on behalf of a candidate, someone attempting to smear a candidate, it doesn’t really matter – would ask a polling question like this: “Would your vote for Delegate be affected if … Continue reading
Church chat
All kinds of remarkable, amusing things are surfacing as the thrashing over the ill-conceived push/message testing/research/whatever poll allegedly commissioned by the Lynn Chapman campaign continues unabated. To wit: This picture is posted (with the caption: “Jerusalem fell and the Holy … Continue reading
