If you want the full NYT editorial, let me know. It's a doozie!
The guy is known as a brilliant pollster--but instead of trying to figure out what YOU want, the emphasis is to feed you what they want you to have (at least that's my impression after reading many articles). As some sat back watching an amnesty plan get pushed on the citizens, asking if Bush was listening as people constantly spoke out against his "guest worker program", who did we have behind the scenes? Yep--that would be the guy.
