I just got polled!
Dude didn't even know how to pronounce half the candidates' names. :eyes:

You been polled yet?

5. Governor and Assembly
Nothing national at all.

But one of the candidates for Assembly is a local guy, and I know a bit about him, so I got to say stuff like, "Oh, HELL, yeah! DEFINITELY negative!"

2. Yup.
I was polled by the local ABC station right before the last presidential election.

It was fun. :bounce:

11. Oh, yeah.
They only asked about the presidencial and the Baltimore City mayoral races, though, and a few of the props.

19. If it were a push poll
I would've hollered a few choice expletives and hung up.




BTW — hanging up just isn't as much fun anymore, is it? "Beep" just doesn't have the oomph of "slam."

14. It's been years and years since I was polled.
I'm thinking it was in the Dukakis era.

I KNOW it was when I was still living in Los Angeles.

:scared:
