Pollsters sampling of likely voters indicated that speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was "less favorable a candidate than a fecal discharge from a wire haired terrier."
Pollsters compared Pelosi to various other candidates, film actors, cartoon characters and household appliances all to an unfavorable outcome for her. When the list got particularly extreme, the poll takers threw in the canine waste as sort of a "test sample, just to see what happens." Pelosi still lost the match up, although only by a 52-48% margin.
One pollster commented that he had never really seen such a result, and at first attributed it to "just people thinking it was a joke. When we convinced them that we were serious, they still picked the dog crap. It was really weird."
The pollster added that it really wasn't that bad, as the people were asked about Pelosi versus dog poop "as a speaker of the house" only, not in reference to "which would have more intrinsic value in general areas of living."
"I'm pretty sure Pelosi would win that one" the pollster asserted.
