Just got polled by CBS re: Mich. primary, ask me anything!
I guess I can't sit back and complain anymore about "who the heck are these asshats that are being polled, I've never been polled," etc. This was a very interesting set of questions, I thought. Of course he wanted to know who I'm supporting (I already voted Clark/absentee), and so on. But he wanted to know how much support Clark has from me (strong), and how satisfied I would be with Kerry or Edwards (somewhat), and if I had ever been a Dean supporter (I was before Clark entered the race). He asked who I voted for in 2000 (Gore) and if there are any union folks in my house (no) or military folks (no). He also asked a series of questions about my faith in the ballot counting process. I said I had faith in the count as far as the primaries go, but not in the G.E., and he laughed! There were the obligatory questions about Iraq and the * administration. Overall, it was great fun, and I'm sure that one result from it will be that my name will be highlighted in YELLOW when I try to board my flight to Texas on Tuesday morning.

Anyone else here been polled this season?

I'm sure going to miss being able to complain about polls!;)

2. How interesting!
As a fellow die-hard Clark supporter, I am so glad they polled you!!!

I am also very interested that they are polling about BBV.

I've never been polled, but I'd love to give them an earful.
Good for you!

3. Republicans will probably use BBV to try to suppress turnout.

I've talked to more than one voter who thinks that it's not worth voting thanks to the BBV issue.

You can bet big media is going to hit us with scare stories once it gets close to election day, and they'll be targeted to democrats. Ie, NPR will run them non-stop.

5. Thanks. Those are good questions.
If you later can link us to the published results, that would be really interesting to see!
