Republican Polling Techniques

So it's Friday morning and I get a call from some young man and he asks for me by name.

"Speaking" I replied.

He then rattled off his name, title and whom he represents so quickly that all I got was his first name and Republican Party.

He then asks me "If the Presidential election were to be held today would you vote for John McCain over the Democratic presidential candidate?"

I immediately recognized that as a loaded question since the Democrats have not yet picked a candidate.

"I'm don't even know who is going to be the Democratic presidential candidate. Is there something you know that I don't?" I said.

He replied "Ohhhhhkay then, thank you." and he hung up!

Interesting tactic but I'd have loved to sit and talk a bit of politics with the guy. Too bad he had an agenda with no balls to press forward. What is the republican party coming to?
