Oh my...listen to this poll question I was just asked...
Advertisements [?]
I live in Iowa.

I just got off the phone with a pollster. She indicated that
she didn't know which candidate commissioned the poll, and that this
was to ensure that the callers were not biased.

I was asked standard questions: How well I liked each candidate; How
well each candidate would deal with education and social security; Which
candidate did better in the debates; the likelihood that I would attend
the caucuses; how much I felt I knew about each candidate.

I identified myself as an "undecided but leaning toward Edwards, but
liking Obama as well."

Then--one of the last questions I was asked was this: What is your
understanding of Barak Obama's religious affiliation: Christian, Muslim
or Don't Know?

I said, "I have no idea" and I said nothing else. I was shocked by that,
and to me--someone was trying to associate Obama with the negativity surrounding
the Muslim religion.

Is someone on the Dem side playing dirty?
