If nothing else, this episode demonstrates the increasing difficulty consumers of polling data have in identifying potential conflicts in the sponsorship and funding of public polling.

The Associated Press's account is chock full of various Wisconsin political tidbits, yet at the moment the only place one might read it in its entirety is at a Boston television station's website, which is where Pollster's commentary links as well.

Off topic, I had not seen it reported that "David Prosser – WI Supreme Court Justice" is a featured speaker at this weekends tea party event in the Dells; "3rd Annual WI Defending the American Dream Summit
Midwest RightOnline Conference", is this within the bounds of permitted Judicial Conduct?
I don't see why not. He spoke at the State Public Defenders conference last year. I guess his 2011 campaign is underway.
