DCCC Polling for Boswell?

Somebody from "Washington" is conducting polling in the Second District for David Boswell.

They were calling last night, and started out with the usual questions: voter registration, intention to vote, who do you support in presidential and senate races.

Then they got down to their real problem: David Boswell.

After the respondent reluctantly admits that, forced to choose between Boswell and Brett Guthrie, Boswell is the least horrible choice, this:

"I'm going to read you a series of positive statements about David Boswell, and want you to tell me whether you think each one is a strong, moderate or weak reason to vote for Boswell."

This is the problem with polls: no essay answers. If you told me that David Boswell supported having George W. Bush and Dick Cheney flayed alive and then slowly roasted over an open fire, I'd still think Boswell is a racist, mysogynistic DINO who doesn't belong in the state senate, much less Congress.

Well, at least it was a chance to provide proof that yes, Virginia, there are Obama-supporting Proud Liberals in KY-2 and we're not afraid to say so.

And Rahm? If this was, as I suspect, a DCCC poll, let me save you a lot of money and grief and strongly advise you dump Boswell now.

You want a real Democratic asset? You want family values? You want to turn a red district blue? Invest in Navy Veteran, mother-to-be and Mitch nemesis Heather Ryan, KY-1.

Do it now.
