I was Zogby polled for the AZ primary
I received a call from the Zogby people earlier tonight concerning my vote in the Arizona primary next week.

I was asked who I am voting for, and to rate all the candidates from "very unfavorable" to "very favorable".

The most interesting question was, "Are you a NASCAR fan?"

NASCAR is the soccer mom issue of the '04 race.

The two most important issues, of my choosing, rather than from a set list, are the economy and Iraq.

I still don't think Zogby polls measure up to Zomby polls. :-)

3. I went to a Winston Cup race in Vegas once
It was rained out in the middle. It was okay, but I have never been compelled to see another one. It is VERY different than on TV, I'll grant.

My grandfather, who was a brilliant mechanic (he patented a carburetor and built full race engines as a hobby) was a race car driver in the 50's, so I feel some affinity for the sport, and my Hot Wheels were my favorite childhood toy. But I don't think I will be a "NASCAR Dad" anytime soon. :-)

4. But what did you tell the Zogby people?
Did you tell them that you're a NASCAR fan?

Personally, I can't figure out what's so interesting about cars going around and around and around in a circle all freakin' day.

But if Zogby called me up and asked me if I was a NASCAR fan I would "you bet your ass I am"! And then I would tell them which candidate I support and say that all my NASCAR buddies support him too!
;)

5. I said "yeah, sure"
There is much more to it than cars going around in circles though. It takes great stamina and skill to navigate 4 rapid turns and constant weaves when you are going 165mph.

6. Cool about your
grandfather (not to hijack but...) I had an Uncle who was a pretty famous race/trick car driver. I hate car racing.

11. Any bump is a good bump
He wasn't famous - just raced on a midwest sprint car circuit many decades ago, and was a mechanic by trade. I have no aptitude for mechanical things and drive a '92 Hyundai Elantra, lol. I inherited other qualities from him, like my sense of humor. :-)

14. He must have been
a good guy because your sense of humor is certainly a winning attribute! My Uncle did the whole Midwest thing before he started winning. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they knew each other, pretty tight group back then. Nother bump for you Zomby.

7. Ouch. Did it hurt?
Sounds like it hurt. I wouldn't want to get Zogby polled or any kind of polled.

8. LOL
Just know I gave Edwards a decent rating, although my best praise was for DK.

I have been spanked enough on here to feel no pain. ;-)

13. I think I was freaky enough
A DKer who admitted to once going to a NASCAR race can't be the norm. :-)

16. She was doing her word search puzzles!
But surely she must have been puzzled by a conversation in which I said one word answers and grunted in disapproval (when a candidate who shall remain nameless was mentioned) a time or two. "Very unfavorable!" :evilgrin:

The guy didn't ask if there were any other Dems in the house. Probably goes against poll rules or something - can't have TWO DK supporters under one roof huh? :eyes:

:hug: :loveya: Mom!
