Was there a statement of why or who had commissioned the poll? I thought I caught ".......emocratic party." (Little Berry let loose an earsplitting shreik just as the polster started. By the time I moved to the next room, question numero uno was under way.)   Nohero Supporter Username: Nohero Post Number: 5021 Registered: 10-1999 Posted on Thursday, February 2, 2006 - 10:56 pm:        Good lord, not another poll!!!!   Hank Zona Supporter Username: Hankzona Post Number: 5226 Registered: 3-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 2, 2006 - 11:16 pm:        I got a call tonight too...I was asked to name all the TC members and the mayor. I passed. I was asked to rate them, the two top choices being "excellent" or "pretty good"...I asked if there was anything in between that I could choose, they said no. I gave everyone the same grade...they are a committee after all. I was asked who I would vote for in the June primary out of a list of six or seven names (that fake name guy was on the list again -- maybe he's for real)...I was pretty specific about who I wouldnt vote for. The pollster pronounced most of the names correctly..I helped with a couple of them. How much do these polls cost? Id love for someone to announce next time, "I was going to pay to have a poll done, but instead, I will donate the money to the schools or youth recreation". Any chance of that ever happening?   Paul Surovell Supporter Username: Paulsurovell Post Number: 523 Registered: 2-2003 Posted on Friday, February 3, 2006 - 3:43 am:        I got the call but didn't have time to talk. So I guess the poll results will be skewed to the right.
