Poll Launch Script (Communications)
A thin packet of printed pages — tightly stapled briefing copy and a single-page script — typed in a terse campaign font and smeared with coffee fingerprints and margin scribbles. Lines for question phrasing, suggested lead-ins, and a bolded media window time sit circled; hands pass the pages as aides point, cross out words, and stamp the countdown into action during the bullpen confrontation.

Purpose
To provide exact wording, question phrasing, and timing instructions for releasing or announcing poll results to the media and public.
Significance
Serves as the combustible artifact that crystallizes the team's semantic quarrels into an urgent operational choice: its wording and timing precipitate the phone‑bank launch, force reputational risk calculations, and convert debate into an irreversible political gamble affecting careers and messaging.
