Mystery Polling in Ohio?
Who would commission a poll for Ohio governor and Senate races that sounds this bizarre and doesn't include Petro as a candidate, only Blackwell. Lots of strange polls going around these days...


"The polling company called a voter – who’s also a Plain Dealer reporter – about this year’s governor and U.S. Senate races. The pollster, a woman, asked standard questions, such as, “If the election for governor was held today, who would you support – Ken Blackwell or Ted Strickland?”

The pollster appropriately did not identify Blackwell as the Republican candidate or Strickland as the Democrat. (She also never offered a match-up with Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Petro, which suggests that whomever commissioned the poll believes that Petro won't make it through the primary.)

The pollster went off-track by repeating the governor's question using the names of Mike DeWine and Sherrod Brown. "

1. How would this benefit or hurt either party?
