How much do Repubs value push polls?
It just struck me why they might be so against the "no call list" - push polls would fall under telemarketing, and if your number is on the list, you don't get called. This would essentially take a bullet out of their gun, and I'm sure they don't want that.

1. They were certainly
successful for them. Are you sure they would be affected by this? No wonder.

4. Successful, too, for
Dean who was pushpolling in Iowa over the summer. He reinforced negative perceptions of Gephardt, Edwards and Kerry in his polls.

I haven't heard of any other Dem using pushpolling.

2. You should have posted the question as a poll
Options:
1) A whole lot
2) More than almost anything else
3) They consider them invaluable

:-)

5. How about
the real electorate is something they cannot justly win over. Any trick will do.

6. I don't believe push polls will be effected by these rules.
And I know there is no way the GOP would willingly allow push polling to be outlawed.
