Jason Eness-Potter, a Democrat from Iowa City, answered his phone May 25 without expecting an extensive probe of his political views, but that’s what he got. “I was on the phone with the person for about 40 minutes” before getting tired of the questions and ending the survey, he said. From his sketch of the questions asked, we can draw a few inferences:

. . . The caller identified his questions as a survey about “voter persuasion.” After asking the standard party ID questions (roughly, “Are you a Democrat?” and “Would you consider yourself moderate, somewhat progressive, or very progressive?”), the questions became more issue-specific. Eness-Potter recalls being asked, among other things, “Do you consider yourself a feminist?” Answers to the issue questions were in terms of a 1 to 9 scale.

. . . Next, the questions turned specifically to the candidates. The caller also asked the standard candidate ID question, “Who are you most likely to support in the caucuses?” (Eness-Potter identified himself as leaning towards Sen. Obama.) A standard, public poll may have finished here, but the caller pressed on with questions about Sen. Clinton. He asked first what Eness-Potter’s general approval rating of Clinton was, following up with carefully worded questions about Clinton: Do you feel that she is too strong of a feminist? Do you plan to support another candidate “because {Sen. Clinton} stands by her convictions on her war vote and refuses to back down?”

. . . But the survey didn’t end there. . . On Sen. Obama, the caller’s question had to do with the war: Paraphrased, it was “Sen. Obama boasts of his consistent opposition to the war, but he has contradicted himself by voting for appropriation bills to fund it. Does this make you approve of Sen. Obama more or less?”

And on Edwards, the subject was, predictably, about his $400 haircut a month or so ago.

All the candidates do this, I'm sure, so :spank: me for picking on Clinton.

4. Curious thing about bartcop - he rails against the BFEE all the time because he knows

how far back they have committed their crimes and recognizes that Robert Parry is the most important source on the internet - YET - the Clintons are closer to the Bushes than even Joe Lieberman, and bart excuses that closeness while attacking any other Dem who even has the slightest appearance of giving some cover to the BFEE with a bad vote or misstatement.

I still love bart, not that he would care, but, I no longer trust the Clintons after reading Bill's book.
