Poll dancing

Over on Facebook, I mentioned that it was just announced that Brian Williams would be Notre Dame's commencement speaker this spring. I wrote that I really like him, and it's true. He's my favorite news anchor, and just seems to have that likability and trustworthiness factor that successful anchors have. He also seems to be a fairly cool guy, really into music, and uses his notoriety to bring attention to new bands and artists. You have to admire him for that. I was a little surprised at the response in comments, everything from "he's my news anchor crush" to someone saying he's just plain hot. (Not to mention any names...DAWN! haha)

Some of you may remember my Rahm Emanuel poll (86% think he is a hottie, giving Rahm a definite swoon factor). Let's do the same with Brian Williams.

You will notice that my poll questions are not leading at all. [grin] I take all polls with a grain of salt, especially if I don’t see the questions that were asked. Polls can be easily manipulated, and whenever I see questions that are too constricting, or try to pigeon-hole my feelings too narrowly, I automatically distrust those results. I’ve gotten several mailings from the RNC that are written that way, although I know it’s not confined just to them. My point is to be wary of poll results. But not mine. These babies are 110% accurate! (Using 110% is a pet peeve of mine, by the way. There is no such thing. Stop using it.)

I often say that smart is sexy, and in Brian’s case, a lot of people seem to feel that way. What do you think? Is he a hottie?
