What is going on with the CD5 Republicans

By Wally Edge

Up until a week ago, the 5th Congressional District primary has been most notable for the amazingly quiet primary the Republicans have been running. But over the last week the theme seems to have shifted to whacky publicity stunts.

First we had Susan Bitter Smith accusing Harry Mitchell of push-polling against her. A Republican challenger, in a crowded primary is accusing a sitting Democratic Congressman of push-polling during a primary? Now we have Laura Knaperek issuing a challenge that would pit her and the Congressman in five debates over the next 90 days.

My only guess is they may not realize they are in a primary. Here let me help. Laura meets Susan. Susan, Laura. You may also want to meet David Schweikert, Jim Ogsbury and Mark Anderson, as they want the honor of going against Mitchell too. And chances are, if someone is push polling, you may want to look at these fellow primary competitors first.

Now can we get on with the primary?

Push polling indeed.

I believe I just got a push-poll phone call /against/ Harry Mitchell. Here's a copy of the email I just sent to Mitchell's campaign:

I just received a phone call this evening from a company that I *think* was called Promarketing Survey. They asked if I had fifteen minutes for a survey. I assented, and the first part of the survey was very straightforward. I was asked how I was registered, and I was asked if I was interested in the upcoming elections, and I was asked if I had heard of and felt favorable about candidates for President and for Congress. That was all pretty normal.

After that, the surveyor told me he would read me news items, and I was to say if those news items made me feel more or less likely to vote for Congressman Mitchell. The first one was "Congressman Mitchell opposed a plan to fund a fence across the Mexican border." The second one was "Congressman Mitchell used public funds to create a liberal library." The third was "Congressman Mitchell says he opposes earmarks but actually has taken $ in federal earmarks." At that point I refused to take the survey any more.

The surveyor then said "Oh, can't you just help me out and finish it?" And I said "No, this is pushpolling, and I can't participate in this." And then he said "Well, can you help me out and just say it would make you strongly less likely to vote for him, since you had to put up with listening to this?" I said "No" and hung up.

I received the call at 6:37 PM on September 11. The number the call came from was blocked.

I hope this information helps you guys. I strongly support Congressman Mitchell, but more importantly, I strongly dislike voter manipulation of this kind. This should not be allowed.
