ASU Poll Goes Like This...
Arkansas State did a poll, probably students conducting it for credit, on many statewide races. They of course showed Republicans behind, and even showed the "undecided" vote higher than the Republican vote in some cases! I have decided to take you through the paces of how I think this poll was conducted:
ASU Student: Hi, we are conducting a poll. Are you a registered voter?
Me: Yes
Student: And do you tend to vote Democrat or Republican?
Me: Republican, when I can stand any of them.
Student: So your probably not going to vote this time so thank you for your time...
Me: I'm voting.
Student: Oh.
Pause
Me: Would you like to know how I'm voting?
Student: I was going to put you down as "undecided"

Me: I'm decided.
Student: Can I tell you some facts about the candidates first?
Me: Just ask me the questions.
Student: In the race for Governor, are you for a man who believes in Arkanas, Attorney General Mike Beebe, or his opponent, former Bush lacky Asa Hutchinson, or are you undecided?
Me: Hutchinson.
Student: I sense some hesitation, I'll just put you down as "undecided".
Me: I'm gonna vote for Hutchinson.
Student: But once I give you these facts....
Me: Put me down for Hutchinson. And why did you leave Lendall and Bryan off the poll?
Student: For the same reason they were left out of the debate held on this campus.
Me: And why was that?
Student: They didn't have the poll numbers.
Me: For Lt. Governor I am voting Holt.
Student; No!
Me: Yes. Jim Holt.
Student: Sir, you seem like a reasonable man.
Me: That's right. One who is voting for Holt.
Student: Would it change your mind if you knew that Holt was a dangerous radical extremist bigot who will impose a Taliban like government on this state if elected?
Me: No.
Student: Not even to undecided? "Undecided" sounds so much more moderate and reasonable than "Holt".
Me: Put me down for Holt. Even if you told me he had a secret plan to blot out the Sun and posion Earth's waters.
Student: Has someone already called you from our group? That was going to be my next point.
Me: Just record the vote already! Any other races?
Student: Sir we also ask about the Attorney General and Secretary of State races, but I wonder if you are not being just a bit hasty on this Holt thing....
Me: I'm voting for DeLay for Attorney General.
Student: It seems sort of one sided. Shouldn't you cast one vote for the Democratic side just to be fair?
Me: I'm voting for Jim LaGrone for Secretary of State.
Student: Are you sure your a registered voter?
Me: I'm hanging up the phone now.
Student: But were not finished re-evaluating your choices yet!
Me: We're finished (hangs up the phone)
Professor: "How did that one go?"
Student: We were still dialoging when he had to go.
Professor: Undecided then?
Student: Uh Huh, just like the others.
Mark Moore is such a slimebag. the only reason he runs this thing is so that he can pretend his opinion matters to anyone at all.
i read it only to know wht the latest retarded thing is that he has said.
And then a liberal comes on here just to prove Mark Moore's point. Thanks!
Great piece, for a Holt lacky.
thanks rob
