I agree with you, many times I find fault with the questions of FR's polls, as well as this one. What exactly is the diff between Need More Info and "Pass"? BTW, I originally voted NMI for the same reason same reason that you would go for a pass in a Yes/No/Pass choice. The I vote Hillary is bizarre.
This poll question, and the GOP party hacks, are attempting to focus all attention on the nominee, while avoiding questions of political fallout.
Does this nomination advance conservatism? Does this nomination energize the base? Do you think this nomination will cause more, or fewer voters to pull for the GOP in 2006? 2008? Does timidity in addresing Senate dysfunction energise the conservatives?
