You won't believe how this newspaper poll is worded.
http://www.azcentral.com/news/ (at the bottom right)


Should Barack Obama do the unthinkable now and replace Joe Biden with Hillary Clinton?

No. It would only underscore that his first big decision was a mistake. 58.13%

It is not an option now. Hillary would never agree. 30.00%

Yes. Nothing this year is going by script. He needs to answer the Palin surge. 11.88%

Total Votes: 160


:wtf: A mistake? What kind of wording is that? Why phrase it that way instead of 'Biden is the right choice for VP'.
This is a RW-leaning newspaper so maybe it shouldn't be a big surprise but it still pisses me off.

1. I hear their next poll is
Should the Democrats just concede the election now?
Should the Democrats concede the election and also endorse McCain/Palin in all of their glorious goodness?
Should the Democrats continue their futile efforts because it is, at least in name, an election?

Stupidest Poll Questions Ever. They Distort. We Deride.

The worst part is they know they can get away with this crap. :banghead:
