I JUST GOT PUSH POLLED AGAINST MEEK.

[ellenfl]

it seems jeff greene is using this tactic to gain votes. i find this tactic to be reprehensible and will NOT vote for greene, no matter how good he could have looked to me.

just thought y'all should know. the bias in this call was undeniable and the pollster even agreed that he was push polling.

1. What Happened

I mean, what kind of questions did they ask?

I have concerns about Meek, but I'm not sure about Greene either...

2. he asked which of the three dem candidates for senate

(i thought there were only 2!) i would back, although he named them, he didn't call them dems. obviously, he already knew that i am a registered dem. then he asked which i would choose between greene and meek. he asked if i would definitely vote meek. he asked a couple more questions like that before i asked him again what his polling company name was and i asked if greene had hired them, since it did not appear that he was going to be the subject of any of the poll questions. of course, the pollster/surveyor was just the person asking the questions, and professed not to know, so i let him continue. that's when the questions became more specific . . . 'how likely would i vote for meek if i was told that a donor had given money to meek's mom and bought her a car', something similar to that. he asked another question in a similar vein and i wondered what things he was going to tell me about greene when i realized he wasn't going to give greene equal time and that he was trying to influence me about meek.

i cut him off then, accused him of push-polling me to which he answered , 'if that's what you think, yes'. i politely ended the call.

i might have been more compliant if he had not started by calling me 'sir' and then asking if there was a male registered voter in the house . . . after calling the phone number that is in my (female) name. :eyes:

3. he also asked which i preferred . . .

a business man who had already proven he could create jobs or a career politician.
