First of all, a hundred thanks to Joyanna Adams for keeping things entertaining and enlightening while I was gone! Sadly, that’s all about to disappear because I’m back now, but hopefully Joyanna will agree to cover for me again in the near future.

Well, the 2012 election is just around the corner, and there’s a new poll out there.

What are the odds that these pollsters will be union members being paid a union wage? Put me down for $50 against (as you can tell, my head is still in Vegas):

A top union and a top liberal blog announced Tuesday that they’ll team up to sponsor polling through the 2012 elections.

Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said they will join forces to conduct issue and campaign polling in key states and races over the next two years.

First question from the Kos/SEIU poll:

Who do you plan to vote for in the 2012 presidential election:

A) Barack Obama
B) Barack Obama

(margin of error: plus or minus any conservatives who got kneecapped and had their answers changed to Obama)

I won’t be using this poll, because I find the Code Pink/MoveOn.org poll a bit more nonpartisan.
