Zogby poll

Here's a press release regarding that Zogby poll that found Americans did not, in fact, want Terri Schiavo starved to death:
"If a disabled person is not terminally ill, not in a coma, and not being kept alive on life support, and they have no written directive, should or should they not be denied food and water," the poll asked.

A whopping 79 percent said the patient should not have food and water taken away while just 9 percent said yes.
Yeah, this issue is really gonna hurt the Republicans. And on my pet topic:
When asked directly about Terri's case and told the her estranged husband Michael "has had a girlfriend for 10 years and has two children with her" 56 percent of Americans believed guardianship should have been turned over to Terri's parents while 37 percent disagreed.
Maybe that 37% is made up of married guys with girlfriends.
