Poll Spin
The Sunday Tennessean offered a strangely-headlined sidebar to its front-page story on the poll showing U.S. Rep. Van Hilleary gaining ground on tax-and-spend Democrat Phil Bredesen in the Tennessee governor's race. The sidebar doesn't appear to be available online. The headline suggested the income tax is not much of an issue in the governor's race or in legislative campaigns across the state. The story, however, mentioned no such question being asked.
