“I hope Tim Cahill doesn’t self destruct before he can put his papers in for governor. We need this bozo in the race for entertainment purposes and to prevent Charley Baker from having a chance.”
That question doesn’t make somebody want to vote for Mihos, it just asks if they will. A push poll is supposed to change someone’s mind…this thing just solicits an opinion. If it said “How likely are you to vote for crusading reformer and successful businessman Christy Mihos” it would be a push poll. But this language is very neutral about the only declared candidate in the gubernatorial election.

Months of wrangling and suspense, boiled down to an extra humid day in June. And if the building’s emotions hadn’t been rubbed raw enough, Farrah Fawcett was off to join the Mass. Turnpike Authority in the great beyond, followed shortly by Michael Jackson. The press conference crept a few slots down the news ladder.

Frankly, the amount of child welfare case work is exploding – what people forget is that real people, who do the work of the world – the cleaning, the child care, the cooking, are being hurt in fundamental ways where it will be difficult to impossible for them to regain lost ground.

Project exit Mass is no longer optional.
All shopping will be done in Seabrook.
Need financial advice on how long it takes a bank to actually evict my daughter, now pregnant and soon to be uninsured.
Freeze in the dark this winter and that is only the few that survive mandatory Unicorn flu shots this September.
Pissed? Needless to say July 4th will be sans fireworks.

Ernie, you never, ever want to have a primary opponent. Cahill will only divide the party. Deval will have to tack too far to the left in the primary. Cahill won’t win the nomination, but there are enough moderate-to-conservative Democrats and Independents that his candidacy could send them toward Republican Charlie Baker in the general election. Of course, there are some people who post on this site who are so whacked out that they will not let up on Deval because he’s not 100% ideologically pure in their mind. Most of those people — allegedly adults — still live at home with their parents. So it’s normal they’d have difficulties confronting the realities of everyday life and politics.
Very nice. A good recovery from your shaky opening.

or, if u need a modifier, a poll poll.
… which pretty much is the definition of a push poll.

This testimonial is pretty compelling, if deliberately cryptic.
<
p>It’s also notable that both hubpolitics and RMG have large Mihos ads at the top of their main pages. It appears he’s going full court…
If I had a nickel every time someone used the term “push poll” incorrectly…
<

I hadn’t realized that smearing was a required component. Thanks.
<

<
p>Please don’t say “poll.” đŸ˜‰
