88. The only reason this is not illegal

is because of the 'internet loophole'. They coordinate with her campaign but do it only online. If they did this shit elsewhere, yes, they would be busted for FEC violations.

To try and defend this shit speaks volumes to your character and that of your candidate. Fuck it...as long as it is not 'illegal' then go for it.

Well, PPP didn't bother to publish the screening questions	jeff47	Nov 2015	#35
How do you know they won't/didn't do that?	MADem	Nov 2015	#50
I read their report. Link's at the bottom of the press release quoted in the OP.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#53
That question tells me this--they didn't include	MADem	Nov 2015	#56
Except that wasn't in their methodology.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#60
I think you're trying too hard to get down in the weeds on	MADem	Nov 2015	#68

And you know this, how? You're saying, then, that PPP is worthless	MADem	Nov 2015	#49
Polling paid for by a candidate is never taken very seriously	jfern	Nov 2015	#52
Where's Bernie's glowing internal poll, then?	MADem	Nov 2015	#57
Bernie doesn't have a SuperPAC paying for biased polls	jfern	Nov 2015	#59
He didn't have "campaign advisers" either...until he did. nt	MADem	Nov 2015	#61

WHOO HOO!!!	lunamagica	Nov 2015	#32

Because Clinton didn't pay for one. She paid for one tonight.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#45
OMG	Cheese Sandwich	Nov 2015	#48
That's a blatant falsehood.	MohRokTah	Nov 2015	#71
Hey pal, if you really believe that..	Weidman	Nov 2015	#73

Some would say at least one. Not me though...	Elmer S. E. Dump	Nov 2015	#87
The only reason this is not illegal	TM99	Nov 2015	#88
How could that poll say she won it handily and all these polls say the opposite?	Jarqui	Nov 2015	#43

Apparently sponsored by Correct the Record.	Weidman	Nov 2015	#58
Conducted by PPP who are the most accurate.	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#64
Read the report.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#66
In other words, you don't have any evidence there is something wrong with the poll	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#70
Uh, those are problems with the poll.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#72
Those are not problems with the poll, they are lack of documentation so far	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#76
Because PPP doesn't know how to describe polling methodology in their reports?	jeff47	Nov 2015	#77
No the bullshit is desperately attacking the most reliable agency because you	stevenleser	Nov 2015	#78
No, that's not all this is. Read the damn report yourself.	jeff47	Nov 2015	#80
So if a Republican pays for a poll, you'd trust it?	jfern	Nov 2015	#75
