ACTION: Ask Pollsters to Include Hillary

Your Email Doesn't Need to Be Lengthy (0.00 / 0)

They know the arguments - they just need to hear from you.  Here's what I just sent...

Good evening:

I'm writing to respectfully ask that you include Hillary Clinton in your next poll regarding the presidential race.  With Sen. Obama's numbers slipping in match-ups against Sen. McCain and the Democratic nominee yet to be determined, our delegates need as much information as possible if they're going to make an informed decision at our upcoming convention.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

This is brilliant! (0.00 / 0)

Alegre, just yet another way to raise the media awareness. I had n't realized till you pointed out, just how powerful it could be to be simply included in a poll. Great idea indeed.  PS: thanks also for posting the Ickes video.

Just sent an email (0.00 / 0)

to all three pollsters you listed. Here was my message:

To Whom It May Concern,

Please include Hillary Clinton in your tracking polls. Despite pro-Obama media spin, a big rift does exist within the Democratic Party. There are many Democrats who supported other candidates (not just Hillary Clinton) who WILL NOT support Obama. Democrats are judging Obama on the content of his character, not the color of his skin and are finding him lacking.

Also, please include questions about Obama's character. If you do not, and only focus on race, you are not accurately reflecting the mood of the electorate.

Consider questions like this:
Do you support African American candidates? Yes/No
Do you support Barack Obama? Yes/No
Do you trust Barack Obama? Yes/No
Do you think Barack Obama has enough experience to be President? Yes/No
Are you concerned about Barack Obama's past associations? Yes/No
Do you think Barack Obama has good judgement? Yes/No
If Barack Obama is the Democratic Party nominee, how will you vote?
a. for Obama b. for McCain c. for a third party candidate d. Write in candidate name e. only vote down ticket f. stay home

Thank you,
X

Excellent letter, Grlpatriot. (Alegre's was fine, too.) (0.00 / 0)

Really good way to contact 'em, and I'm e-mailing 'em (again) right now.

Let's hope they listen to me this time.

There's no excuse for this, DNC.  None.
