    Phone survey

    I'm a CA resident, and I just finished a phone survey by people asking about the recall campaign.

    Now, the survey was pretty standard stuff, but I found some things amusing. The guy couldn't pronounce "Nazi", "Veto", and had problems with various of the candidates names that he was reading off to me.

    I always wanted to be a "out of a survey of 1000 California residents" member, and now that I've gone through the entire thing, I really hope they don't call very often because damn, that took a long time.

    California? He probably wanted to know if Alex was a member of the Nazi party. :)

    It was something like...

    "Proponents of Arnold Schwarzenegger say blah blah. Opponents of Arnold Schwarzenegger say blah blah and his dad had ties to the Nazi party blah blah. Does this make you more or less inclined toward Ahhnold?"

    It was one question out of many.

    Heh, sounds more like a push poll than a survey.

    Yeah, but they did that for _every_ candidate. 2 Republican, 1 Democrat, and one guy from the Green Party.

    Supporters say that xyz is the best thing since sliced bread.
    Opponents say that he eats babies.

    Amusing.

    The guy couldn't pronounce "Nazi"
    How do you mispronounce "Nazi"? The only thing I can think of is George C. Scott mangling the word in Dr. Strangelove (he said it as if it rhymed with 'snazzy'), but I didn't think anyone would ever actually do that.
