As for the latesttheoriesregarding the
alleged push poll calls, Spokesman Kevin Madden replies:
"Where to begin? Our campaign has
repeatedly asserted, explained, insisted with an emphatic level of
certainty that we are not involved with calls against our own
candidate. We have also refrained from accusing any other campaign
and have instead asked the New Hampshire Attorney General to
examine the matter. The statistical probability that one of our
supporters would receive one of these calls would be obvious. But
conspiracy theorists are less likely to consider that fact." Is
there some innocent explanation-- legitimate surveys designed to
probe the public's views about Mormonism? Not clear at this point.
Frankly I was stumped how to even title this post as we have yet to
figure out whether these calls were a legitimate polling effort
gone awry or a nasty tactic by an opponent or nefarious third
party. UPDATE: But stories like this will just fan the conspiracy
flames.
