Public Policy Polling's new poll asked, among other questions: "Who do you think deserves more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?" Now, that's a very odd question, in that you would be hard pressed to come up with a scenario in which Mitt Romney had anything to do with the Osama bin Laden raid at all—much less more to do with it than the actual president that gave the go-ahead. The results by party, though, may be the new craziest thing you've ever seen [PDF]:

Funny, 35-40 years ago a Chicago teachers strike would have been a big deal in Chicago, but not so much national news. Happened a lot. Now it's the lead story in the NYT. How we've changed.

Yup. And the reaction doesn't seem as negative as I would expect.
