I don't think either of them are all that remarkable, ALL Republican pundits seem to be complete douchebags. I know plenty of Republicans in real life who are perfectly reasonable people, but virtually every Republican in the public arena is a completely unmitigated jackass. I'm not sure WHY this is true, but instead of picking a reasonable, average guy as the "Joe the Plumber" character, we got Captain Dumbass. Zeigler has an agenda of course, as most political folks do, but more than that, he just seems like a complete assclown in the way he goes about pursuing it.

Furthermore, with questions like "Did you know that Barack Obama launched his career in the living room of a domestic terrorist?" How could this NOT be considered a push poll?

Well it's a bad push poll if that's what it was supposed to be, it's a little too late to push something like that. Although the wording IS exactly what you would see in a push poll, the fact that Zogby is defending it makes me totally doubt any future polls from that source.

However, the real point is that it is intentionally phrased as a question that an Obama voter would have a very hard time answering...it's the poll equivalent of "when did you stop beating your wife?". With the question you mentioned, if you answer "no", you're a dumbass, but if you answer YES, then you are admitting that Obama pals around with terrorists. I know EXACTLY what the question refers to, and I don't know how I'd answer it if I was asked.
