2. Whoopee! Another anti-Hillary push poll.
Nothing like manipulation in the evening.

9. What was anti-Hillary in the OP?
It's a legitimate strategy question- nothing manipulative about it.

5. Its hard to bemoan someone for throwning mud...
then a week later start throwing mud yourself and still manage to come out looking like you're above a mud bath. Plus, its really, really easy to spin a woman being assertive into something negative. Personally, I dont mind the mud-slinging because I feel like its part of the primary process. Maybe it wont hurt her... I dont really know. For me its all just speculation.

8. Pot calling the kettle black
Edited on Sun Dec-02-07 09:15 PM by Onlooker
This sort of transparent attempt at manipulation exposes the anti-Hillary crowd for same sort of dishonesty they accuse Hillary of. It's the sort of dishonesty that this poll represents that keeps her in the mix for me.

11. Actually, if I were a Hillary supporter
I would be upset about the character questioning strategy and vote that it would hurt her. Seriously, I think people are finding boogeymen under their beds when there is nothing there. I did not take this poll to be either pro or anti Hillary.

Some people have to calm down a bit.

12. They will help her.
After all, it did help Obama when he did the same.
