I think my first (serious) proposal may not have made it through, but for the national poll, I would ask (worded properly, of course): a) Have you heard about Jason Collins b) What do you think c) Do you consider yourself a pro sports fan? I'd x-tab a & b against c.

Do you approve or disapprove of Mark Sanford flying airplanes at his children?

Test Linda Ketner's favorables in SC-01, just for the hell of it.

How about aiming for, say, 2,000 respondents in Iowa and doing four House polls as well? All four districts are competitive. Also, in Florida, I don't suppose there would be a way to do a Sink-Crist Dem gov primary?

Possible replacements for Akin (not that I think he's likely to drop out, but obviously you gotta test some names). Aside from Brunner & Steelman, of course, you have: 1) Ex-Sen. Jim Talent (he's only 55) 2) Rep. Jo Ann Emerson ("dean" of delegation) 3) Auditor Tom Schweich (had considered possible sen/gov runs this year) 4) State Sen. Brad Lager (almost beat Peter Kinder for LG nod this year)

Strongly seconding polling MI ballot measures. In addition to collective bargaining and 2/3rds vote in lege for tax hikes, there's the measure to repeal the emergency managers law. Also, please include former New York Mets third baseman Howard Johnson in your polls for president.

Please be sure to include Magic Johnson in your next poll of Los Angeles.

How about asking Iowa voters what other state they'd like to see polled. After all, you ask us!

"Do you think that one of these days a congressman from Michigan is going to come back home and build a turtle fence?"

Ohio: Seconding the idea to test the redistricting referendum. Also, another group is trying to get a measure to overturn the state's anti-gay marriage amendment on to the ballot for 2013, so maybe test that. Heh, Lee Fischer vs. Rob Portman rematch? Iowa: Maybe ask people if they know anyone who has been married in a same-sex union in the state of Iowa. Could offer an interesting cross-tab.
