Has some pull? (8)
I believe the answer is:
attracts
'has some pull?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for attracts that I've seen before include "Draws towards as magnet does iron" , "Draws attention to" , "Exerts a force, draws" , "Appeals to or draws towards" , "Has a magnetic effect" .)
