I Got Called by ABC Poll
That was kind of interesting. She asked if I had time to answer some questions - and I sure was going to make time.

All the usual stuff. Only thing different was that they asked about the affects of the Swift Boat ads.

I don't know how they got my number and they never asked my name. They did ask my party affiliation, my age, my religion and if I was married, divorced etc.

2. It could be a polling company that was hired by ABC to conduct
the poll, the tracing the number won't make a difference.

3. Was the SB ad question a "yes or no" question?
Or a multiple choice question? I am curious how it was worded. It could have been a "rigged" question like "when did you stop beating your wife?"

4. I can't remember.
They came thru unknown name and unknown number - but I have had someone calling over and over that is SBC and other wierd calls from wierd area codes.

But this one identified themselves as ABC

5. One really wierd thing - they asked me if I liked
Schwartzenager. I thought that was sort of bizarre.

6. Not bizzare.........
he's thinking of running for Pres in '08. If they can change the constitution in time for it. And Hatch already got the ball rolling.
