National Journal Blog Polling Begins

Posted by Myrna the Minx on August 23, 2008 | Comments (4) | Trackbacks (0)

The National Journal recently asked me to participate in a blog polling project during the convention. I’m not sure why they asked me to participate, perhaps they’re big fans of Freud?

Look at who else is included–I’m like the kid playing with blocks on the living room floor listening while the grown-ups talk politics amongst themselves. How on earth did I get included in a list of “leading political bloggers?” Oh well, it’s too late for them to kick me off the list now so I’m taking full advantage by recording it forever online below. You can read the results of the first poll here. Subsequent poll results will appear on the National Journal’s Conventions 2008 site.

Question: What portion — if any — of the Democratic convention program should be devoted to tearing down John McCain and the Republican brand? (I added an “X” after my answer)

Answers

More than half (7 votes)
About half (6 votes) X
About a third (6 votes)
About a quarter (1 vote)
Hardly any (0 votes)
A quarter to a half (1 write-in)

Wow. Be proud! Not only are you a Nevada blogger who is included in this list but are you about the only woman too? I’m proud of you!

There are actually a lot of women included, I’m thinking they needed westerners.
