2. more going on here, that I'll touch on in the article which will also include the survey results ( there is STILL TIME to get involved w the survey. It is on extremism in the GOP- focused on MTW, GA-14 but also GOP extremism broadly. Ultimately, I waited to field it until

8. you want to here is where you can donate. I have changed the amount to 15,000-will see what happens. If we don't raise more, we sill still have a great poll, but will more money we can ask more Q AND hit a large n to get into the crosstabs. Otherwiose, we'll have to use.
