I can give you a reason to lie to a pollster about support....Because nowadays, you never know who's a legit pollster and who's a campaign team. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 16:45 9
- I agree with you 100%, there's a term for that kind undercover style, especially when they ask you if you would still vote for them if you knew - zeitgeist Nov 3, 18:14
- I wish anyone that needs this to be true the best of luck -- nm - Stewie Nov 3, 16:47 1
  - Oh don't misunderstand. I think the race has been done since the end of September, but it's a legit reason to lie to a pollster. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 16:49
- In that case, they should say they're thrilled to be voting "for Osama" :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 16:46
- Call me crazy, but I just hang up. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 3, 16:46 4

- Talk about your Hobson's Choices. -- nm - David SI Nov 3, 16:27
- I would agree, especially if there's no new content in the SNL show. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:26
- I watched Heroes last night thinking that the next ep would be on tonight, for a minimum amount of lag time ... no such luck. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 16:23
I'm getting non stop "Yes" on Prop. 8 ads on this site. Please post something to make them go away. -- nm - jnine Nov 3, 16:18 9
- Well, I tried modifying the page header to endorse the whole "Stop the Hate/Vote No on Eight" movement, but it didn't look pretty enough. - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 16:23 2
  - I doubt many of the posters here are going to vote yes. I'm just sick of that creepy picture of that little school kid who is supposedly being forced - jnine Nov 3, 16:24 1

when one votes early, the Vote people ought to be telling the phone solicitors. I have had 10 calls today by local comissioners & judges -- nm - peglegpete Nov 3, 16:14 7
- I know. I've been getting calls the last 2 days, and I mailed my ballot last Monday :/ - MojaveMeg Nov 3, 16:18 2
  - I had a Dem grass root person come to my door to tell me who to vote for. I told her I already voted and gave $$ to Obama. She started lecturing me - jnine Nov 3, 16:28 1
    - That's a democrat for ya... always knows how to spend your money better than you! :) -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:41

      - Right. ok, there are super long lines... so frickin open more polling places! -- nm - Don Homer Nov 3, 16:18
      - I think at certain times, lines can be long. I might go at seven thirty a.m. to avoid student crowds. again, suffer to vote. -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 16:17
      - some areas are better equipped to handle it than others. with the Carolinas being such powerful states in most elections... - Remlik Nov 3, 16:17 1

LIR: Reagen, re: B6/B7 - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 15:55 32
- I also like how you drop in "Obama himself...playing the race card...this whole campaign", as though it's fact. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 16:10 2
  - Yes, he played it when he pre-emptively accused McCain and the GOP months ago. - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:20 1
    - Silly me, I though he was talking about the voter supression efforts. - musubi Nov 3, 16:23
- paying no attention to whatever this thread is really about, I'd intentionally lie to pollsters because I hate election polling. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 16:06
- I'll be glad to bet you a $20 Amazon gift certificate on tomorrow's presidential results. -- nm - David Nov 3, 16:06
- [deleted]
- but this is just it - I haven't been. - Reagen Nov 3, 16:01 9
  - I agree...when you are polled there is no "why"... just "who" -- nm - Stewie Nov 3, 16:02 8
    - well there sort of is a why with followups on important issues, but that essay Coulter had the McCain voter writing wouldn't happen. - Reagen Nov 3, 16:07 7
      - Right. They don't have the opportunity to explain, so they just say "Obama". - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:23 6
        
        That's tin foil hat territory. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 3, 16:28
        
        but why wouldn't they just say "McCain"? - Reagen Nov 3, 16:26 4
        
        Re: your IM. This is one of the areas where I can legitimately claim you'd have to be a citizen to understand. - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:29 2
        
        Lots of your fellow citizens seem just as gobsmacked as I am. - Reagen Nov 3, 16:32 1
        
        They're the ones on the other side of the pressure. - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:40
        
        They fear a strange black man carving a backwards "B" into their face. Duh. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 16:29
- If you're voting for McCain, for non-racist reasons, why would you lie about voting for McCain? - musubi Nov 3, 16:01 8
  - The why may be unanswerable. The question is, is there a so called Bradley effect? Does it really exist? - Loyola Nov 3, 16:10 3
    - If there is no "why", then there's no basis to believe Vermin/Coulter's hypothesis. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 16:14 1
      - I'm sure there is a why, but who knows what goes on in people's heads that causes them to lie to pollsters. - Loyola Nov 3, 16:18
    - wait for it -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 16:11
  - [deleted] 2
    - It's a presidential poll. Unless the question is "Why aren't voting for Obama, you f***ing racist?" I don't see how that even applies. (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 16:06
    - We're talking about responding to official polls -- nm - Stewie Nov 3, 16:04
  - and not pick undecided. -- nm - Stewie Nov 3, 16:03
- if McCain wins it's be the greatest comeback in a long time - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 15:57
- What kind of chances do you see for McCain? Are you thinking he has a 90% chance of winning, or like a 55% chance, or what? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 15:57 5
  - 31.25%, duh. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 16:23 1
    - Put it this way. How surprised would you be if Obama won? -- nm - mara Nov 3, 16:48
  - [deleted] 2
    - It's like saying there's 70% chance of rain tomorrow. -- nm - psilotum Nov 3, 16:03 1

Bring the Brisket? Is this some new TT euphemism? - musubi Nov 3, 15:54 1

I'm more than a little bit disappointed that the Obama shirt I ordered still hasn't made it to me. - musubi Nov 3, 15:53 1
- voting aids can wear t-shirts? - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 3, 15:55
Ugh, Netflix is closing their previously viewed DVD store on Nov 30? Why? - TFox Nov 3, 15:51 1

    - like I have instant potatoes in the house! that would be something someone who cooks has! -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 16:21 1
      - Buy a little packet when you buy the soup ingredients :) -- nm - Trish Nov 3, 16:38
- it's easy. 1st: make a good vegetable/chicken stock base. then, saute some diced onions + carrot + garlic, add a slew of cubed potatoes ... - x Nov 3, 15:57 4
  - thanks again. what kind of onions do I want to use? my gut says white. is that correct? (I love how I am beginning to understand things like - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 16:25
  - what if I want it chunky some? just leave out some of the cubes when I puree? (thanks.) -- nm - tom the turkey loves mandy lane Nov 3, 16:02 1
    - or you could just pulse some of the cubes in the blender rather than puree-ing them all and add them back in...nm - x Nov 3, 16:10
  - potatoes are *mild*...nm - x Nov 3, 15:59
- Mmm..,potato leek soup. - the liioulu with pods Nov 3, 15:49
