So I get a call today about 2 hours ago.

Call: "Hello, I'm with the so and so group doing a census for the Illinois Republican Presidential primary, wondered if I could have a few minutes..... blah...."

Me: "Sure"

Call: "Will you definitely, Maybe, or definitely not be voting in the Republican Presidential Primary?"

Me: "Definitely"

Call: "Will you be voting for Mike Huckabee, Rudy Gulianni, Mitt Romney or John McCain?"

Me: "Ron Paul, actually."

Call: "Oh, Didn't he drop out of the race?"

Me: "No, he most certainly did not."

Call: "Well, who would be your next choice if he did?"


I hung up.

So was that a push poll or just an idiot pollster?

This is why bad media attention is often better than no media attention.

Funny - I actually did that to the RNC who called and asked me "to rate on a scale 1-10 how important that a Republican wins...?

(I said 10) next....

RNC: .... will you make a donation to RNC...?
Me: "No"
RNC: "But, I thought it was important to you to have a Republican in the White House."
Me: "It is, but only if the republican is, Ron Paul. I donate to his campaign, only."
RNC: "But, what if he doesn't win the nomination?"
Me: "I'll vote Democrat."

He was speechless.

these are the same type of poll tactics they use to prop up candidates to begin with so they can spray it all over millions of tv screens. this crap is just way more obvious.
