I just got polled.
It was very strange. The questions were very long and very convoluted.

They asked about Doyle's performance, asked if I owned a gun ("not yet"), asked if I hunted, asked if I was in a union and asked about a couple of Wisconsin names like Scott Walker.

Most questions were some variation about off-campus primary learning. Queries were about 'underprivileged' and 'picked on' children. Before the questioner even got to the crux, I commented that this must be a "home-school-paid-for-by-taxpayers" poll. Sure enough, after several other questions, I was asked if I thought online learning was a "home-school scam?" I responded, "I already guessed that, didn't I?"

I see this poll as an announcement of the latest "home-school scam." Watch out for it because it seems that Wisconsin is a target. Does Neil Bush have anything to do with this? hmmm.

1. You have a right to ask
who sponsored the poll and what polling or communication outfit is doing the poll work. Most lobbyists, utilities, corporations, etc. work through a "communications" or public relations firm like Wood Communications or such. Many are worded to get a pre-determined effect.
