San Diego NFL stadium subsidy proponents doing “push poll” about this boondoggle

Yesterday I fielded one of those automated voter polls concerning the San Diego downtown stadium. The recorded voice read the glowing summary of how many things the stadium would do for the city, and said that the cost would be borne (entirely) by a higher hotel tax. None of the many arguments against this boondoggle were presented. Then it asked how I would vote (oddly enough, their pitch did not sway me from my “hell no” position).

But expect the results of this push poll to appear shortly in the media, claiming high public support for this giveaway. It didn’t say who was behind the poll, but suffice it to say that it was downtown stadium proponents.
