How do you characterize someone leading in polls as being "foisted" upon us?

Polls at this point of the primary process measure nothing more than name recognition. With 95+% of MSM pieces focusing on Giuliani and McCain and the current "leadership" putting their names out there as well... they are being foisted upon us. There's very little oxygen left in the room for more conservative candidates to gain name-recognition points in this gale.

I don't agree with your conception of what it means to "foist". "foist" would be: a plurality of people prefer one guy, but (the (R) leadership? someone?) tries to talk up another guy. That simply isn't happening. Nearly the opposite of that is happening, in fact.

Indeed, what you're saying is basically that you don't like the preference of people being expressed in these polls, and that you wish a more conservative candidate were... well, foisted on people instead.
