Please take this poll re: Texas redistricting
http://www.kdhnews.com/
(poll is about halfway down the page)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Do you support the governor calling a third special session to address congressional redistricting?

Yes, redistricting is important, and Rick Perry should not be bullied by Democrats threatening to boycott another session. 63.48%

No, enough time and money has been wasted on this issue, and it's likely that additional sessions will meet the same fate as the last two. 36.52%
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I suspect this poll has been freeped. This morning the "no" vote was waaaay ahead of the "yes" vote. Just an hour or so later the results were reversed.

37.38%

On edit: those are some fair and balanced questions if I've ever seen them. Is the Kileen Daily Herald somehow afiliated with Fox? "It's likely that additional sessions will meet the same fate" How about "It's a crazy Republican power grab by crazy powermad Republicans." That would more accurately reflect my view.
