Nice, NYC Mayor Bloomberg now resorting to 'push polling'

In one of the less savory campaign tactics, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign, or someone hired by said, has been calling homes under the guise of asking survey questions which soon turn into mud slinging questions. According to the New York Times, Bloomberg's telephone 'polling' goes something like this:

Are you registered to vote?

Do you plan to vote in the mayoral election?

Would your impression of Mr. Weiner change if you knew he missed votes in Congress?

Would your impression of Mr. Weiner change if you knew he had difficulty keeping staff?

And so on and so on and so on.

Ya know, for somebody who we feel bullied the system into allowing a third term for himself (it's not like the city was CLAMORING for third Bloomberg term), these push polls are more of the disgraceful behavior Bloomberg has exhibited in the past. Push polling is something you expect from desperate fringe candidates. Push polling is one of the lowest forms of campaigning. But now it seems push polling and Michael Bloomberg go together like a hand in a glove.
