was polled for the THIRD time in Ohio
by three different polling orgs.

Last night, was a very extensive one that seemed concerned with labor and NRA membership.

all three did not seem to be push polls, but on the up and up.

so, I'm doing my part to pump obama up in the polls!

1. So much for random sampling
Considering the odds you probably should have also won the lottery :crazy:

2. I know, its weird, I have no idea why my number keeps coming up
I do stay on the line because I'm expecting a sleazy mccain pushpoll and I want to tell those bozos off, but all three seemed legit.

although, it should change soon since we just ordered our land line disconnected to save money.

3. Can I ask a politically incorrect question?
Could you tell what the race of the interviewer was? I have a friend who works for a Democratic pollster and she said they have noticed a race-of-interviewer effect in their polls, so I am curious if public pollsters have the same problem. I know some phone banks used for polls are heavily African American, so I am curious if that is the case with public pollsters as well.
