We asked voters on this poll whether they think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal- 46% of Mississippi Republicans said it should be illegal to just 40% who think it should be legal.Among the potential nominees, people who thought interracial marriage should be allowed most favored Mitt Romney, while those Republicans who thought interracial marriage should be prohibited favored Sarah Palin the most.

Another example of "gotcha" politics. Public policy Polling, which has been frequently criticized for its liberal bias, sticks an entirely irrelevant question into a poll about possible republican presidential candidates.

I am proud of them and love them dearly. At the same time the prevalence of the attitudes expressed in the poll make me worry.
Let's face it Whit, most pollsters are not into embarrassing democrats.
Gruntled, when it says the "Post has been removed by the author" in the comments, does that mean you removed it, or does it mean that the person who wrote it removed it?
In this case, I deleted it to repair a typo. (Interestingly, the word verification here is "kleneoff")
