Clinton the "Phantom Liberal", or, the utility of surveys

An example of a decent survey can be found in the latest issue of *Extra!*. In the article "The Phantom Liberal", Justin Lewis, Michael Morgan and Sut Jhally report on the results of a survey they conducted. The results were a strong reminder of a terra firma of leftish belief among the US citizenry, despite the droning of corporate propaganda and all variety of sleaze and distraction. It also shows how terribly informed, thanks to our wondrous free market media, people are here.

For those interested, the survey and the results can be seen at http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~commdept/resources/scandalsurvey.html.
