Poll: Public Assents to Media Wet Dream

Why does anyone put any stock in these polls at all? Most people don't really give a shit about Hillary being on the ticket or not being on the ticket, but they say yes when asked... why? Because it seems superficially logical. Because they're really not familiar with the other possibilities. Because elements of the media have been pumping up the "dream ticket" for so long. It's the perfect example of an echo chamber generated by a pathetic media wet dream.

Is the average poll respondent going to say, "No, I want Janet Napolitano!" Pretty doubtful.
