Last night I received an automated phone call wanting me to participate in a political survey that was all of two questions long. Instead of haning up like I normally would have, I decided what the heck and listened to the first question...

If today was election day, who would you vote for? Press 1 for John Kerry, press 2 for George Bush.

I pressed 2 and listened to the second question...

If you selected John Kerry, why did you choose him? Press 1 because you agree with his stance on current issues, press 2 because he is not George Bush.

Since I didn't select Kerry, I waited patiently to see if the survey would understand I didn't select Kerry and would either automatically hang up, or say something else... After the second question was repeated again, I just hung up...

Did the person designing this survey think that everyone would select Kerry? The second question should have had a third option I selected Bush...

After I hung up, I started wondering whose campaign was doing the survey... Anyone else ever get a phone survey like this??
