Plus, some folks have some confusion about our names, so we get on lists twice. We get polled a lot. Sometimes they ask for one of us by name but often it's just whomever answers the phone.Sharon GRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467317912222026022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206743.post-1131403321893740202005-11-07T17:42:00.000-05:002005-11-07T17:42:00.000-05:00You know how much I love the long, extended polls,...You know how much I love the long, extended polls, but these were the quick ones.

I usually hang up before they get through the first sentence. I figure it's a bit rude, but it gets them to someone who wants to answer questions a bit faster.<BR/><BR/>If you want to be polled, and you want to receive lots of campaign literature, register as an independent with a spouse who is registered as a partisan. Houses where both are registered partisans only rarely get polled (and when they do, it's usually nationally funded because of the cost to poll through multiple response trees).<BR/><BR/>XTXpatriated Texanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202309776546699202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206743.post-1131116387129588562005-11-04T09:59:00.000-05:002005-11-04T09:59:00.000-05:00I've been polled a few times, this year and last. ...I've been polled a few times, this year and last. It's a strange feeling when you've been active in a campaign and then you get a call to ask you who you're voting for. Your first reaction is to say, "Dude!
