National Journal Poll of Bloggers
The National Journal has been conducting a poll of leading political bloggers, and me. Here are some recent questions and results.
You can view quotes by passing your mouse over the pie charts. My answers, you may have guessed, are listed under the “Right of Center” tab. But the quotes aren’t attributed, so you get to guess who gave each one.
What portion — if any — of the Democratic convention program should be devoted to tearing down John McCain and the Republican brand? Answers here.
Pick the demographic group that Obama most needs to sway during the convention. Answers here.
Do you think Michelle Obama will help or hurt her husband’s candidacy in the general election? Answers here.
What do you expect Hillary Clinton will focus more on in her convention speech? Answers here.
Let’s see how well you know me. Try to guess what my answers were. For a bonus, try to figure out which of the quotes are mine.
I checked mty e-mail again, and nope, they didn’t poll me. 🙁
The original Dana (3e4784) — 8/26/2008 @ 11:41 amCongratulations! This makes you an official top blogger and insider, something you already are to most of us. Here are my picks:
1. On Hillary – burnish her image, and I think you said the comment that begins “It’s hard to say what the Clintons will do …”
2. On attacking McCain – more than half, but I’m not sure which of the 2 comments is yours. I could see you saying either.
3. The group Obama needs to sway – whites over 45. Again I’m not sure which comment but I’ll guess the last one.
4. On Michelle Obama – hurt, because “There’s a reason they’ve been keeping her so quiet lately, and it’s not that they’re tired of her boosting the campaign.”

I want to echo the sentiment of congrats on just being picked. There are thousands of bloggers on both sides of the aisle that would have loved the honor of being identified as being among the opinion shapers.

You’re too modest.
