I think a better question would be, "How accurate is a poll that has only one possible response?"

By the way, the answer is yes, not only can, but certainly some do.

Well, I never said (nor did the OP) anything about a 'Christian campaign' which I don't think exists anymore than a 'Christian car' exists, so your 'challenge' is a typical leftist ploy to begin with which displays no small amount of ignorance of what the word Christian actually means.
Beyond that I think many admirable campaigns have been run by Christians; Huckabee, Palin (as far as it goes), Jindal, Santorum, Bachman in my own district are among the few I can think of off the top of my head.

I think Mike Huckabee did a good job at doing so.

Yes and it's also possible for a Christian to refrain from push polling.

No, I do not believe it is possible. Politicians have been attacking each other like that since Democracy was established. I believe when Politicians do so excessively it means they're desperate.

Looks like push polling works!

A better question may be would they have a real chance of winning.
is the average voter who cries about "throwing the bums out" really serious about getting a better class of politicians in Washington, or are they going to continue voting the same kind of politicians into office election after election?

Jindal ran a great campaign. The dems held nothing back in their trashing of his faith, character, nationality, accomplishments and a few other things. He didn't bring up the fact that the former governor was criminally stupid in how she handled Katrina. He could have run an *I told you so* campaign but he kept it positive.

Problem I see is that we all want everyone else to vote their bums out. We go into the booth thinking about the things our bum got for us.
