I received a call from a pollster inquiring as to whether I planned to caucus and who for. My reply was “I will support Joe Biden.” Asked if my support was firm, I replied “definitely.” The next question was “Who do you think will work hardest for the American people, Clinton, Edwards or Obama?” my reply was “Joe Biden.” At this point the pollster repeated the question, and when my reply was the same, he said he’d consider that as “undecided.” When I reiterated my choice, he thanked me and hung up. My point is that when the answers didn’t fit what the pollster wanted he was no longer interested in my opinion.

I urge everyone reading this to caucus for your candidate, but do your homework. Don’t just blindly follow the polls thinking your vote is wasted if not for the top two or three

candidates. I believe it is only wasted if you don’t cast it for the person you feel is the best qualified person for the job regardless of their poll

standing.

For me that person is Joe Biden."
