Yes, and if the story does not continue the theme of Bush=bad then there is nothing to write about.

I participated in a survey tonight, conducted by a company that I had never heard of, and focusing on Maryland politics. It took almost a half hour to complete, but I wanted to see what the questions were, and how they were worded.

One of the first questions was - did I think that Maryland was on the right track or the wrong track.

I asked, in what category, and the interviewer could not give me any specifics, so I refused to answer that question. Imagine, reporters quote that number all the time, and the question, without context, is meaningless. Economics? Culture? Government? Education? Weather? Electric bills? etc etc

Most of these survey's are worthless and people belive and quote them as if they are gospel. I started to take a Zogby the other day and it starts out with things like will Brad and Angelina stay together.. so I got out of It and didn't finish. Even if politics was farther in the survey, it was using some wierd questions to position people and how they think.
