After reading Andrew Sullivan on Clarence Thomas and Citizens United decision (he ends his column by quoting from Adam B's recent dkos post) I was moved to write a kind of follow-up blog post that I'd like to also share here:

I just participated in what was clearly a telephone push poll favoring Hillary Clinton and bashing John Edwards and Barack Obama. It began objectively enough, but toward the end, there was a section where they read statements that "could be said" about a given candidate and asked how they affected my view of the candidate, and all the statements about Edwards and Obama were negative, while all the statements about Clinton were positive! (Some rough paraphrases: "John Edwards chose not to run for another Senate term because he didn't think he could win, abandoning the fight in Congress against the administration"..."Barack Obama failed to vote in favor of abortion rights nine times as a state senator"..."Hillary Clinton was born into a middle class home where she learned the value of hard work and frugality")

The company running the poll was "PSA Interviewing" and when I asked the caller if he knew who the client was, he said, "Well, we've been calling this the 'Hillary Clinton survey' so maybe it's her."

Could it really be the Clinton campaign? Is there a way to find out? Has anyone else gotten this poll? Here's a similar experience reported on My Left Wing.
