I just got a telephone political poll, didn’t catch the name of the polling company (Crane or Cone or something, maybe)… They asked to speak only to males, then asked a couple “likely to vote” questions before asking “Are you or is anyone in your family employed by a newspaper, radio station, television station, or other media outlet or is an elected official?” Without thinking, I answered yes, because I am, and they ended the questions there… I just wanted to know if anyone got the same call and if so, where the questions went from there… The reason I ask is that not asking whatever it was that they were going to ask because I belong to a category of people likely to make a public scene about nasty push polling makes me wonder if they were, in fact, engaging in some kind of business that they didn’t wish publicized…

Anyone else get one of these calls?
