I think someone just tried to push poll me and it wasn't another Dem.
I just got this call for a poll. Guy started out by asking which candidate I was supporting then started asking individual, complicated questions about Dem candidates, followed by the question "Does this concern you?" Obama and campaign funds, Hillary and something about health care, then he started with Edwards and something about withdrawing troops. That's when I reacted because he referred to Edwards as a "liberal trial lawyer," something I don't think another Dem would use as a descriptor (I hope I'm wrong). I asked who was behind this poll and he stammered a bit and said something about the company he worked for just sent them questions and he didn't know who was doing the poll. I pushed again for the company name and he balked. So I asked him if he just decided to pick up a phone book, pick random numbers, and just ask questions for the fun of it tonight since he didn't have any thing better to do. Then he gave me the name of a Omaha company named Timerline. Anyone else getting calls like this here in Iowa, or know of a company called Timberline?

1. You did well asking for the company's name. Everyone being polled should do that.
