[quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous]As I just posted in the other thread, the emails clearly show she had an advance copy of the poll results (why did she have it?) and tried to use them (is that legal?) to get Frumin out of the race.  The emails have enough inference in them, in my opinion, to believe there was a quid pro quo as was alleged.

I am not understanding why Silverman supporters are happy about this.  It shows  a hubris and reversion to politics as usual.[/quote]I may qualify as a Silverman supporter, or perhaps as a Silverman/Frumin fence-sitter.  Last night I thought she was hurt.  I thought she had made a sensible move, but I also thought the story made it look under-handed.  Seeing the emails made me feel she had done it it a careful way, and as long as they catch up with the original story, I don't think it should hurt her.

In fact, given that she asked that it be confidential and it got leaked, I am a bit more favorably inclined in her direction.  This won't be the deciding factor, though.  I do think Frumin should have honored the request to keep it confidential, but I confess that I enjoy getting a look into their relationship.

As to the question of the legality of her hearing about the poll before it became public, that seems to me to be silly -- this was not some official poll covered by government regulations, it was financed by a marijuana legalization group after all.[/quote]
