Election season is upon us

Well, the one I got last night went sort of like this:

Q: Are you a Republican, Democrat, or Independent?
A: Independent.

Q: Are you very conservative, slightly conservative, moderate, slightly liberal, or liberal?
A: Moderate (in terms of the historic political spectrum -- I added to myself)

Q: Do you trust Cory Gardner?
A: Somewhat

Q: Do you trust Mark Udall?
A: Not a damned bit.

Q: Has Cory Gardner attacked President Obama too much with <blah blah blah blah>?
A: Nope.

Q: Has Mark Udall supported President Obama not enough, slightly not enough, just right, slightly too much, too much?
A: Way too much.

Q: How effective do you feel the following are as campaign issues? <whole list of talking points about how Gardner is supposedly too extreme, out of touch, etc.>
A: Non-effective, waste of time, etc. on each one of them.

I could almost see the poor Udall campaign workers getting those responses and pulling their hair out trying to figure out what they could do.

Here's an idea for them to follow through with... have Mr. Udall withdraw. Of course, that would require humility and honesty.

They really are not conducting polls, they are trying to sway public opinion with leading questions.
