Hucka-nasty Push Poll
What did I tell you? I'm glad the recipient was smart enough to record the incident. This is a Huckabee push poll attacking Fred Thompson in South Carolina. Has he no Hucka-shame!

Huckabee Using Push Polls In Nevada
LAS VEGAS, NV -- First thing this morning (ok, 10:06am PST) I got a call from an automated poll. It asked if I was going to participate in the caucuses this Saturday (1/19/08). Then it asked if one of the candidates I supported was Giuliani, Huckabee, McCain or Romney. NO! Then it asked each of those four names one at a time. NO! NO! NO! NO! Then some issue questions in "yes or no" format: abortion, illegal immigration, guns.
Then started the really pushy part of the poll. Did it make a difference to me if a candidate was supported by the painters union? Did it make a difference if the poll told me some magical fact about Mike Huckabee? At that point I declined to participate further.
Next time I get one of these, I'm going to stay with it and listen more closely to the questions and take notes.
