Only Democrats and their Alice in Wonderland way of "thinking" could come up with these two totally contradictory and mutually exclusive positions and think it makes sense. Only the Democratic brain can begin to fathom the supreme illogic of saying someone should pledge in 2006 to serve 6 years in the Senate but run for president in 2008. Or are they just so dumb they think she can serve in both institutions.

Actually, it isn't contradictory. I had to read it closely to understand, but the use of the word "if" is what makes it make sense. While 65 percent say she should serve a full term if she runs for re-election to the Senate, 61 percent say she should run for the White House. The use of the word "also" adds to the confusion, but where the word is placed means that respondents aren't saying she should do both.

Why do I get the feeling the respondants haven't a clue about what you just parsed?
