10. They wanted to know who I supported |
|
and what I thought about the other candidates (I said I was somewhat supportive of the other candidates, ABB), they wanted to know if I was going to vote or already voted online or by mail. I voted online, so they asked a bunch of questions about that. I said that I thought my vote would be accurately accounted for.
The funny thing is, when my wife answered the phone, I yelled "If that is John Edwards, tell him I'm not home!" (we've gotten two robo-calls already tonight, Gov. Granholm for Kerry and Gov. Dean for Gov. Dean). I'm glad my wife had the sense to find out it was actually an important call.

I can't believe both you and patsified got called in Michigan. Please post the results when they're published. Go Clark!!! Hope some of our Tennessee folks will get called this weekend.
Very interesting answers. Did they ask you about BBV?

8. Exactly the same questions as P. got asked |
|
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=277595They said the results would be on the CBS News coverage on Saturday, so I imagine it will be used to correlate voter info to the results.

"are you very confident, somewhat confident, not confident that your vote will be accurately accounted for" or something close to that. Might have been "counted" instead of "accounted for"--I know that's a big difference, but I really don't remember exactly.

15. I said I was very confident, based on what I know of the process |
|
of course what I didn't have a chance to say is that I see a party-run primary/caucus vote very differently than a general election.
