A MoveOn push poll?

    Push polls only work if you don't follow the news

    I agree with an earlier post: give Move-On members some credit. Pariser's email was hardly the first time I had learned of the vote. To the contrary, I had been thinking about it--and thinking about ways to get my voice heard on the issue--for several days when the Move-on "poll" offered me an opportunity, which I was quick to take. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just can't see how ideological purity can come out a winner on the messy issue of the Iraq quagmire.
