Voter, beware of polls disguised as the truth
The now raging inferno at the House of Workman is burning everyone nearby. A recent victim is Workman's attorney, Greg Skordas, the Democratic attorney general candidate. Skordas is one of the best criminal lawyers in the state, who vigorously represents his clients. Defending Workman required Skordas to publicly question the motives of longtime friend and former employer District Attorney David Yocom. Angered by Skordas' tactics, Yocom pulled his endorsement of Skordas. This is no small matter as Yocom was a leading supporter on the campaign Web site and chaired Skordas' candidacy announcement. Democratic insiders are now expressing concern the Workman case is consuming Skordas' time and hobbling his campaign efforts.
The Tribune's departure from tradition is significant because media outlets always utilize their own political analysis because they control the quality of methodology, questions, respondents etc. Polls conducted by campaigns can be easily manipulated (shocking!) and are usually rejected by reporters. Realizing the Deseret Morning News was about to print their poll, the Tribune was forced to run the story on Wednesday. Politicos noted the Tribune did not perform the standard feature of providing dates when the survey was conducted, verifying the Matheson poll had prompted the Tribune to stall.
