Special Election for US Senate - Poll

The special primary election for Senator Kennedy's seat will take place on Tuesday, December 8. Seems like a good time to post a poll and find out who [livejournal.com profile] davis_square residents support. I'll probably post a second one a few days before the election.

Like previous political polls in our community, this one is public, with all votes publicly readable. If you'd like, post a comment saying why you support your favorite candidate (or oppose some other candidate). There are still a lot of undecided voters out here.

[Poll #1484875]

Actually I got paid significantly more than that for my college jobs and started making a professional salary out of college. I'm not trying to say the City Year is a bad program because it doesn't pay its volunteers well. I'm just saying the ads that described it as a "job creation" program were extremely disingenuous. Khazei should have marketed it as what it is, a service program, and a damn good one at that.
