I had asked before why this module could not be bundled in with the blog module; as in making it an extension just as comments and trackbacks. As someone who uses Drupal for a bit more than blogging, having polls in a post, the way Scoop sites have it, would make sense from a marketing research/political polling POV. Blog polls allow for immediate capturing of capture people's thoughts on a post. I honestly don't know why CivicSpace didn't steal that idea from the DailyKos crowd.

In another thread Derek asked why core has modules at all.
that wasn't me. i believe you're thinking of jeff eaton.
i think drupal's "core" should contain some modules, even ones beyond the required 4 or 5. but, i'm in support of reducing the # of modules in core, and distributing the work of maintaining modules that are important, but not necessarily "core".
This has the benefit of slimming core even more and making it more into framework/API than a "blogging package" or "CMS package".
agreed. some things in core clearly don't need to be there, and contribute to drupal's (undeserved but understandable) reputation as "just a blogging package".
