OK. Who do you trust more? Hillary Clinton, or Robert Novak?

[Skip Intro]

Poll question: OK. Who do you trust more? Hillary Clinton, or Robert Novak?

It's hard to believe some of the things I'm reading here on DU.

Some are saying Obama was right to take Novak's word at face value, and use it to attack Hillary. I'm curious as to what the consensus is, on this Saturday night, of DU as a whole (well, in GDP anyway).


To me, it pretty much boils down to: you either get behind Obama on this, requiring you to "trust" right wing hack Novak, or you trust Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton campaign's claim that they have no idea what Novak is talking about.


Strange that I am asking this. Strange, that this question/poll would come about on DU.


Strange days indeed.

[Lerkfish]

3. are those my only two choices?

what's the point of this poll?

oh, that's right. Ritual shaming.

[KingFlorez]

4. I don't see how anyone could trust Novak

I agree, it's strange that anyone would even believe him.

[Mojambo]

5. Since there's no option for none of the above, I'll go with Other. n/t

[JohnnyLib2]

6. Voted other, figure this one will go away in 2-3 days.

[Crabby Appleton]

17. Neither nt

[saracat]

18. Well, I trust the RW created Democratic frontrunner in nothing. Novak was correct that Valerie

was covert but he was pond scum to reveal it. Neither? I don't trust either but Novak is more truthful but still not trustworthy.Impossible poll to answer correctly.

[dogman]

38. Novak claimed Plame was not covert.

Believe him at your own peril.

[IndianaGreen]

19. David Geffen: "It's not that the Clintons lie, is that they lie with such ease."

Hillary lies about Iran and Kyl-Lieberman. Why should we believe her?

Novak is a neocon. Why should we believe him?

I believe in neither of them!

[ruggerson]

21. David Geffen is such a model of virtue

n/t

[IndianaGreen]

26. And the Clintons are models of virtue?

Stop drinking that Kool-Aide!

[ruggerson]

27. Hey, you're the one who quoted David Geffen, not me

[MzShellG]

20. Neither....nt

[illinoisprogressive]

22. Novack. Why? Because he may be sleazy but, not a fool.

he would never just make up this story knowing Hillary would go after him on it.
that doesn't make any sense.

[durrrty libby]

24. Sense? So now the repukes make "sense" to you?

That explains sooo much

[Forkboy]

[frogcycle]

25. It's hard to believe some of the things I am reading here at DU

like this poll

i mean, this is SUCH a tough question

[lojasmo]

28. Neither. Novak is scum, Clinton is a consumate beltway politician. EOM

[Acadia Blue]

31. I don't trust her either, but think Novak is worse.

[lojasmo]

36. Well, I'm not into judging "better or worse" the question is one of trust. EOM

[jenmito]

29. Neither. Hillary would do/say anything to get elected and Novak would say anything

to smear his enemies. It's a wash.

[Acadia Blue]

30. Novak is on par with Cheney and Rove......dirt balls.

[Bitwit1234]

32. I think Obama made the stupid move tho.

[PurityOfEssence]
