Surveys

Do I call you dear Sit News? Anyway, I just got off the phone talking to another know nothing conducting a "blind" survey for some unknown group or person interested in either getting elected or getting someone unelected. Considering the questions asked, what kind of idiot would put any faith in the results? I'm sure you've all have gotten at least one. What was your take on the questions? Did you feel the answers you gave represented what you really thought or were you frustrated that none of the little boxes fit your feelings? Moreover, did you know more than half the people mentioned? Bet not. Pretty much an Anchorage show and, outside of Anchorage, nobody much cares about Anchorage but Anchorage, but they care a lot. Sorry about the rest of us. Don't mention we're here.
To the point. There seems to be a ton of money being dumped into a state election, by both sides, that, under normal conditions, would hardly make local news. Outside of the voting public, there are no innocents. No moral high ground. All this will be decided without my opinion or input making any more dent than my one vote.
Candidates, spend some of your funds instate and stop these insultingly stupid surveys that are not going to supply you with any kind of valid data. My rant be done.
