After it is resolved whether it will be either Bonhof or Madia who will be doing it. <BR/><BR/>And then in a two horse race, like the DFL one now, there will be a first place, together with a who cares beyond first place ending "poll," and that one will be at the polls? For real. No hypotheticals, no small sample bias, no how-you-word the question concerns, etc.<BR/><BR/>It seems Bonhof could just as well publish a poll about if she were in the Sixth District, how well she'd do against Michele Bachmann.<BR/><BR/>An equal, "So what?"<BR/><BR/>NOW -- I am not dumping on Bonhof as a candidate in saying all this. I am not in that district. I have not attended a debate there. I am just saying, looking at that kind of poll, why waste time and resources that way. <BR/>I expect, for either candidate, people contribute to help pay for the phone banks and mailings, not that kind of marginal stuff.eric zaetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678223934280297732noreply@blogger.com
