I was called by a nice sounding robot lady this afternoon. After a few clicks, a real person came on. Somebody is taking a poll of those who voted for Obama. It was being conducted by Datatrex <sp> or something like that.

Essentially, they asked if you voted for Obama in November, would you change your vote based on his first month in office.

Since I did not vote for him, I could not respond. I will anxiously await the results of that poll!

On a side note, if you are reading this Datatex pollsters, you should not tell us what the question is before you ask if we voted for Obama. It would have been better to determine if I voted for Obama first, then just say thanks and sign off. I could have said yes, then skewed the poll with a vote. I guess not all polls are scientific.

Maybe they wanted a skewed poll?

I guess I hadn't thought of that...
