The True Push Poller?
Are you worried about the effect the Writer’s Guild strike will have on your favorite TV show? Do you need a heavy dose of fiction in your day? Well, if you’re prepared to willingly suspend belief in this universe we call “Reality”, feel free to take a gander at the NRO’s Mark Hemingway. Evidently, Mr. Hemingway has taken leave of his senses and glommed on to the latest web based rumor that Mitt is behind the anti-Mormon push polling in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

There are, according to Hemingway, a “web of connections” supporting his conclusion – which would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetically thin. Evidently, Western Wat’s founder Ron Lindorf has ties to BYU’s Marriott School of Management. Mitt is a Marriott school alumnus and must therefore be in cahoots with Lindorf – who by the way has divested himself of all Western Wats holdings. Some Western Wats employees have also donated money to Mitt’s campaign. Hemingway also makes several other thinly shrouded references to Mormons being employed by Western Wats – another sure sign of a dark conspiracy.

Memo to Mr. Hemingway: I’m also an alumnus of BYU’s Marriott School of Management. I’m also a Mormon. I (obviously) support Mitt’s campaign for the Oval Office. With all those common factors, I’m offended that you didn’t find a way to include me as a co-conspirator in the push polling scandal. End Memo.

Hemingway concludes with a statement that “the Romney campaign, ultimately, has the power to clarify any misconceptions.” Clarification need not come from Mitt. It needs to come from Western Wats generally, and Hemingway specifically.
