Disturbing report of pollster intimidation
This report of death threats against a pollster finding positive data for McCain is disturbing, if true. Jim Geraghty of NRO's The Campaign Spot writes:
"Strategic Vision polling company received several death threats through the contact e-mail on the company's web site.the Strategic Vision polling company received several death threats through the contact e-mail on the company's web site."
Law enforcement has been notified, Geraghty reports. David Johnson, Strategic Vision's head is quoted:
"It's probably just a bunch of nut cases, but this is first time we've ever experienced something like this," Johnson said. "It's highly, highly unusual. We get messages in the vein of 'your numbers are wrong, the other guy's numbers are right' all the time. But this has never happened before."
The Obama campaign which has tried to silence critics and prevent the examination of records of the candidate's past, such as his school transcripts and records of his tenure in the Illinois State Senate. There is no evidence at all of the campaign's involvement in this alleged death threat, but some supporters of Obama do not seem to celebrate diversity when it comes to political opinions.
