1. About the Bob Woodward book?

I haven't read it, so how can I vote?

2. What's the point?

It's an irrelevant question. Does the books tell what I knew already? Sure, but it changes my opinion of Bush from angry and suspicious to enraged and convinced that's he's a mental case.

4. Stupid question

Of course it didn't change my opinion, since I knew the war was an illegal, immoral operation based on a pile of horseshit dreamed up by a bunch of policy wonks and Zionist neocons in the Pentagon and sold to the US public on an avalanche of lies.

A better question would have been "Did Woodward's interview make you more or less against the war than you were?"

5. I agree....

the book didn't change *my* mind because I was against the war and feared the consequences BEFORE we went.

6. I would vote

No, but it might be spun that no matter what, I support BushCo and his dirty little war.

I didn't like the war before the book and I don't like it now.

The question is badly put.

7. Those are actually great numbers!

Consider if 45% hated Shrub ... there would be no change from the book there, Woodward just intensifies the hate.

the 45% who liked Shrub and the 10% undecideds are where the 36% of changed opinions are coming from (in my opinion!).

So the base is cracking a little more and the swing voters are swinging Blue!

8. like much of MSNBC

that's a bullshit poll. What does that mean: Does is it change your opinion of the war? Are they asking whether people who supported the war now do not, or whether people who didn't support the war now don't support it even more (horrible grammar, but no other way to say it).

9. Do not like the wording. Can take it two ways.

I figured the invasion would end up just as bad as it has.
