Being polled for the US elections? Do us a favour and lie
Although I have a preference in the upcoming US election, I’ve refrained from commenting, because (i) I don’t think I’ll make a significant difference (ii) more importantly, I’d find it offensive if someone in the US was trying to tell me why I should or should not vote Blair/Kennedy/this season’s Tory leader, so I’m avoiding hypocrisy.
Still, the Current Electoral Vote Predictor 2004 is one to make all but Karl Rove shudder. If you’re being polled for it, lie! Let’s make the polls really inaccurate so the two sides don’t know what’s going on, and have to fight it on their manifestos for the future, rather than stupid name-calling about 30 years ago.
