Strange question of tonight's Zogby poll?
Do you consider yourself a strong democrat or a weak democrat?

Why the question? What were they looking for?

3. it's not really strange since there are some Zell Miller types

and others who don't consistently vote democrat. and it's good to take them into account since they should not be considered part of the base and put them more as swing voters or republican supporters.

4. How strong the base is. Weak ones are more likely to be swayed,
I guess. Bushies are proud of their base being so strong that they are adamant about voting for Bush and can be absolutely counted on....and that Kerry's supporters are not strong like that. So maybe that explains the question.

We know better, though. Almost half the country is Bushie. Almost half the country is Democrat and determined to vote that way (although they are not strong Kerry supporters, compared with Bushies). Then there's that group in the middle.

6. In other words, 'How likely are you to vote?'
Weak demos go to the polls in smaller percentages.

11. the reason for the egg question
If we're democrats, and we're buying lots of eggs, it will look like we expect Bush to win and we're planning to meet him in DC again.

12. Interesting there were also questions about voting for your state
senator too. Asked who controled the House & Senate (which I sure was checking to see if they were talking to an idiot), but then what party is your Gov., and how are you going to vote in state elections. I was a bit surprised to see this added to the poll.

I still haven't figured out the relevance of buying eggs???????

10. Hoping to find the fence-sitters so the Dubya campaign....
...could throw more lies out there hoping to get the swing vote over to them. So the Bushoveks don't believe in polls, but they still rely on them for some things I suppose.
