Tomorrow I am getting out my phone book and I am going to call people starting with the A's. I'm going to ask them a series of questions that I haven't decided on yet but I am thinking like this:

Hi I'm a neighbor of yours and I'm conducting a poll for The Pajama Journal about the effect of the media in the presidential election. Can you spare a minute to answer a few questions, it will be a huge help?

Assuming I don't get the dial tone, beging questioning.

1. How do you get most of your news?

A. Paper
B. Network
C. Cable
D. Internet

2. Have you heard of the Swift Boat Vets and POWs for Truth?

3 Are you aware a contraversial documentary featuring the POWs will be on chanel 15 Friday evening at 9pm?

4. Do you plan to watch?

5. Have you heard about the fake memo scandal at CBS?

6. Had you heard reports of sKerry's Naval discharge being less than honorable?

7. Have you heard reports that sKerry has not released all of his military records?

8. Are you between the ages of 18-25 25-35 35-50 50-65 or 65+

9. Are you registered to vote?

10. Did you know you could vote early? Have you voted early?

11. Are you Dem, Rep, or Ind?

11. Which candidate gets your vote?

12. Have you ever heard of pajamajournal.com?

Thats it.

If i call enough people I should accomplish a) knowing how good or bad we are doing in this area. b) informing a few uninformed about some of our key points and about early voting. c) giving them an ez way to get more information should they be curious.

Any other ideas for questions or thoughts on the ones I thought of?

add radio to news list
also, when you call, i suggest you leave the questions for the swift boats and kerry for last, otherwise, if a kerry fan will hang up on you, thinking it is a biased call - can at least grab their attention first before hitting them, then they may stay on line.

Run through the questions and figure out how long the survey will take. If someone calls me and says it takes approx. 5 minutes, then I'm ok with it. Over 10-15 and I'm outta there!

I'm still working on the poll.

So far I have come to two conclusions. One, polling is time consuming work. Two, I am living in the midst of ambulatory rocks.

Updates coming soon to a msg board near you.

I love those questions but we have an emergency and I have to pause the survey to deal with it.

I am going to be posting over in the Stolen Honor Folder in just a minute. Please keep an eye out for the thread. We are all going to be needed.
