A couple weeks ago I read a brief story about a particular polling company that had produced inaccurate polls for Lieberman and Bush. According to the report, the pollsters were told to talk to dogs and cats. I haven't seen the media pick the story up since the first time I saw it, but it could explain your question.

Personally I think he's simply trying to make a stir, similar to Ann Coulter, in order to boost his future book sales. Pretty pathetic, but if it's true, I find it rather funny.

Agreed. I fully support Patrick and will say so from now until November and it would be a smart move to get Gabrieli into his administration once elected (hopefully). Mass. sure does need more jobs and more affordable housing and a Democrat is the only we have to bring those two things about. Reps. have had 16 years and still didn't come through.

Deval Patrick is certainly a Liberal's liberal with all the charisma and character to be a great leader, however, I have to say I voted for Gabrieli. When Heally attacked Gab. earlier this week I thought it was a sign she thought he was the most formidable candidate to contend with. In any case I just hope Dems can take the majority of Governorships this year for the first time since 1994.
