Probable Kerry Survey (Telephone) Tonight Complaint [View All]

[ThomWV]

We got an unsolicited phone survey this evening. I don't mind them much and am willing to give my opnion on all things political. 0 This one was probably paid for by the Kerry folks, his name was the only one mentioned other than Bush's and some of the statements I was asked to comment on seemed to be straight from his stump speaches. It wasn't obtrusive, it didn't take very long, I didn't mind.

What I did mind was this, the fellow conducting the survey had an accent so heavyly Indian (As in the continent, not American) that time and time again I had to ask him to repeat the question or the possible answers. So maybe the survey was contracted and maybe this and maybe that and maybe even the actual conduct of the survey was outsourced overseas (which I am just going to assume was not the case), but I didn't much like that.

I just thought it was worth mentioning because if any of Senator Kerry's staff people read this they might want to look into it - if they have a survey going on that is - possibly with an eye towards getting their survey folks to try to find phone people who are easier to understand.

By the way, no, I'm not a Kerry supporter, but I am for everyone in the Democratic Party so if I see anything that I think may be important to any of the candidates I'm going to mention it in the spirit of offering help.
