How is Doug Kaplan paying for all of this? I remember reading a quote where he stated that he was basically paying for this out of his own pocket (Office space, telecom equipment & service, employees....that is unless he really is just getting the numbers given to him, and he creates a polling release, along with the subsequent data off of that)? I can think of absolutely NO way that he can be paying for all of this, unless he is discretely being given some PAC money, or is an individual's/groups puppet.

I've done a little (OK, a more than a little) digging into this, and it seems that Doug not only has no other job, but actually owes (liens/garnishments) the IRS, as well as a few banks/mortgage lenders (foreclosure) to the tune of $350,000 (or more. $350k is all I've discovered so far, can post proof/links if need be).

Grantcart, let me know if you would like me to forward you (not enough posts/reply's to use DU mail ) the financial information/documents I have (a few criminal dockets as well). I prefer to have you post them up, as you've done such a great job with Gravis already, and I'd prefer to a) not bury the financial part of this in a comment, and b) better to keep this in as few posts as possible, so probably better off in your next follow-up, as opposed to me starting a new thread.

K & R. Keep up the good work. FSogol Oct 2012 #1
