Why did you add an obvious internal?  It's even from the Kentucky Republican Party's web site.

1. It's in line with other polls.
2. We've been adding the same Senate polls.

It shouldn't matter if it's in line, either we add internals or we don't.

"We've been adding the same Senate polls" - We shouldn't.  When has this been done before without complaints?  Internals are often ridiculous.  One poll showed Byrd +1.  They're done by parties and campaigns and often adjusted to get whatever result they want.

I strongly oppose this.

I'm going to start a poll about this.  We never used to do it, and I don't approve.

Don't do a poll - just ask Dave.  That's what I've always done for situations regarding controversial polls.

I'd like to approach him with some knowledge of what the forum feels about this issue.  If they're all OK with it, I won't bother.

Fair enough.
