How bad do you want a Brown-Coakley poll?

I pledge $100. (0.00 / 0)

Wait, need clarification. (0.00 / 0)

This is a poll of all the candidates on the ballot, correct?

And the poll identifies the candidates no more or less than the ballot does?

I would think so... (0.00 / 0)

...there's no reason to exclude Kennedy, even if his impact on the race is Marginal.

Any cross tabs would be helpful to see where his votes are coming from.

BTW, Kennedy is not actually running as a Libertarian Party Candidate, but under the "Liberty Party" banner.  Not sure why.  Maybe he's not an actual registered Libertarian?

So he's not listed on the ballot as Independent? (0.00 / 0)

Unenrolled (0.00 / 0)

Kennedy is on the ballot as a (U).  If you run as a Libertarian you can only collect signatures from libertarians and unenrolled voters.  It is my understanding, if you run as an unenrolled you can also collect from Republicans and Democrats.

Bob Hedlund for Minority Leader.

He may have petitioned to run as... (0.00 / 0)

...a candidate of a "party" much like if someone wanted to create a "Conservative Party" and wanted to try to get 3% statewide to qualify said "Conservative Party" as an official "Major Party."   i.e. folks would be able to register as members of that party on official state registration forms.

Why he's running as the "Liberty Party" candidate, perhaps?

I mean, the GMG post is very specific, and I would think they would know.

Wouldnt that money better be spent given to Brown? (0.00 / 0)

A major polling company, Public Policy Polling, is taking suggestions on where to poll next week and will let people vote. That would be free. Any money that could be put into a poll here could be used by the Brown campaign

Go here and vote MA!!

Brown-Coakley Poll (0.00 / 0)

I think the money would be better spent by  giving to Brown. I thought that when I first saw post and now voted on the free poll, MA is way ahead.  The only thing happening any time soon is this MA senate race, they probably will pick MA, but that's only my guess.

They will pick whatever wins (0.00 / 0)

They never go with something different. If we keep up the lead with MA, Red Mass can take the $500 and all the people who were going to pay for the poll can donate to Scott Brown.

Give the $10G to me and the poll will say whatever you want. wink, wink.. (5.00 / 1)

I have plenty of shovel-ready polls just waiting for financing.  

If you disagree with me you are a racist homophobe.

LOL - I wish it were that easy. (0.00 / 0)

I'm picturing V3PN and ElectricStrawberry in a back room doctoring poll results and cracking up while they're doing it.

Come on now.... (0.00 / 0)

ya don't need to doctor poll results to get what you want.

You need to doctor the poll itself to get the RESULTS you want.

Ya just gotta ask the right questions, in the right manner, in the right sequence...to the right people....

I'd love to see a poll taken that costs $10K or even $20K of well-vetted, registered, likely voters.
