I found this poll interesting.

I pick *angry*. But then again, you could substitute the name of 99% of politicians and that would be my answer.

Nominate Condi, please.

Edit: Hilary Clinton Rules! I hope she becomes pope!

What a beautifully crafted deceptive question. Ask what the person thinks about what everyone else thinks, rather than just asking what they themselves think.

I love polls.

I does need to be interpreted that way -- since that was the question. I'm not sure I see your point.

The point is that at first blush, without a careful reading, it gives the impression that republicans are less likely than independants, and independants less likely than democrats, to vote for a female president. When in actuality it may show that Republicans, or Democrats for that matter, in general have a better idea of whether most other people would vote for a female president, regardless of their own personal feeling. There's really no way to know without asking them what they themselves feel, rather than how they feel everyone else feels. So the question and its results are completely useless, but it was clearly asked for a reason; that reason being to give a deceptive result.

The results divide between 2 groups:

1) young and naive

2) old and wise and experienced in Hillary's charlatanism.
