Are people lying more?
Posted April 10, 2008 at 5:40 pmSo, I’m doing my normal post-work thing, catching up on the blogs and watching Hardball. And according to Tweety, there is a new poll out that says New York voters prefer McCain/Rice over either Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama.
Pardon me, but huh?
I just don’t get this. It really makes me wonder if there is either voter fatigue or something else at work.
Like maybe more lying.
I’m one of those people who just outright lies when asked to provide personal information, like birthdate, on a website in order to register for non-essential services like reading news sites. Heck, I think the Post thinks that I’m a 23 year-old male.
I don’t think that people do it maliciously, but maybe just because all of this is starting to feel really personally intrusive. Or something.
I’m the farthest from a Hillary fan, but as far as I know, she’s a popular Senator in that state. So I just don’t see how “100 years in Iraq” McCain winds up a winner there. And perhaps New Yorkers like the smart Condi Rice (even though many find her the worst Secretary of State ever). But while New York is not Massachusetts, the last time they voted for the Rs was in 80 and 84 for Reagan (thank you archives.gov).
Seriously. Does this poll make any sense?
