Well I've finally been polled
and boy are the hammering the Joe the plumper and spreading the wealth angles

beyond the normal who are you voting for stuff they talk you through 1 Obama commercial and ask if that make you more or less likely to vote for Obama (Mccain is not bush, but he acts like him). But they talk you through 4 McShit commercials, one on taxing 1 in 3 seniors and 40% of the working class, and three on Joe the plumper and spreading the wealth.

1. Sounds like focus group research structured as a poll. They were testing
ad messages on you.

3. Sounds like a push poll. Check your caller ID, take down the number...
...and report it to the highest-ranking Dem election official in your state.

5. I was actually polled.
NC voter - registered independent, they were asking for:
Prez
Gov
Lt Gov
Atty General
Senate
State Senate

I believe this was our ABC affiliate doing the polling (WTVD)
