Chief of "We Ask America" poll donated $$$ to "Friends of John Boehner"

"We Ask America" is a polling firm that has come up with some strange pro-Romney results. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/mi/michigan_romney_vs_obama-1811.html

As a result, I decided to find out who the CEO of this polling firm is. I found the answer. His name is Gregory Baise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illinois_Manufacturers'_Association

I then typed the google search "Gregory Baise donations." One of the results led to the following page: http://www.city-data.com/elec2/08/elec-LEMONT-IL-08.html

That link above is a list of some people in Illinois who donated money political entities. In the link, we see the following:

Gregory W Baise (Illinois Manufacturing Assoc/Presid), (Zip code: 60439) $1000 to FRIENDS OF JOHN BOEHNER on 04/17/08

There you have it. This polling firm should have a (R) next to it in Pollster.com and Realclearpolitics.com, but it doesn't. A right-wing nut is at the helm of this organization. A conflict of interest is more than clear.

Tell Mark Blumenthal of Pollter.com at Huffington Post to stop playing dumb and either stop citing this poll or to write an article stating the fact that it has a dog in this fight. Twitter account: @mysterypollster

Here's further no-less-interesting information on Baise:

...Its CEO is Greg Baise, who was a 1990 Republican candidate for Treasurer, losing to Pat Quinn by 11%. He is also Treasurer of the Economic Freedom Alliance, which has targeted Democrat Bill Foster with advertising labeling him as a "job killer" for his support of card check legislation.
