Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Oct 24
Now it's time for a shakedown

Push polls are back! The Trailblazers blog had a great post we missed on the 11th about a bizarre push poll that was clearly focused on a finding a GOP primary opponent to run against anti-Craddick Brian McCall.

Then the caller asked if she’d ever heard of “Brian McCall” and what was her impression of him?

The plot thickens.

A little bit later, the caller asked the volunteer if she would still be favorable if she knew that Brian McCall had voted against property-tax reductions - or something like that - and McCall says he voted for them.

A.) Shouldn't these polls be outlawed? B.) I love that McCall says the backlash is so great he'd be willing to split the cost with whomever's paying for them. He should probably just call Speaker Craddick for his account number.
