A suggestion to those who use polls on NS General.

I've noticed that many of you who use polls tend to frame the chocies in "black or white" terms. In life, and especially in politics, there are almost always many shades of "gray." Just a suggestion: give your readers a few options between most issues' extremes. "A bit of both" isn't a bad option to offer. :)

How'd I do with the filibuster issue?

Neither apples nor oranges are black or white, so I guess I'm ok.
