I was polled late Sunday afternoon. Many times in the past, I get the polling firm’s name and where they are calling from, but I did not care enough to ask this time.

They asked about the Presidential race and the Governor’s race. They asked how I felt about each person in these races (very negative to very positive). They asked if I voted often, and if I was planning on voting in the November election.

They asked what I thought the major issues were (I told them energy and security). They asked if I owned guns (yes), handgun (yes), long guns (yes), and if I subscribed to a daily newspaper (yes), my thoughts on abortion, and how much TV I watch in a day.

They did not ask about the Rehberg/Driscoll race, but they did, however, ask this:

Pollster: Who will you vote for in the U.S. Senate race between Democrat Max Baucus and Republican Bob Kelleher?

My Answer: Neither

Pollster: Excuse me sir…

My Response: I am leaving that section blank. I don’t care for either candidate, and I am not writing in anyone’s name.

Pollster: OK, sir. Neither.

My Response: Exactly

So whoever hired this polling firm must be a little kooky to think that the Baucus/Kelleher race is important enough that they need to spend money on a question about it? Come to think of it, maybe it was Lee Newspapers.
