I've been participating in Zogby polls for years. I think it started from an unsolicited e-mail (Z probably bought a mailing list from someone). Once they get your e-mail address, you're in for life (or at least until your addy changes!). About half of the polls are only slightly political (one or two questions). The other half are all politics and great fun for a conservative in a blue state. Of course after I throw in my little one vote dissent, Zogby cooks all the numbers with his "special sauce" and presto, my opinion vanishes just like that.

I got a call once from a pollster..they asked me the first 3 questions and proceeded to tell me that for some reason they couldn't use my opinion..FYI, they have flowcharts on them when they're asked..if person a answers question 1 yes, ask this one, if they say no, ask this one..I guess I followed the chart to where it said I was gonna be a Bush backer or somethin..
