Almost forgot to mention I got push polled after we came home from voting

It was a hoot!
Some firm in Arizona, a young guy just reading the questions.

It was a push poll for Rod Blum in the first district. We live in the second district. And I had just voted for Dave for the 5th time.

I told him that and he said let's go ahead anyway.
Asked about likelihood of voting, party, who would I vote for president etc.
Read some Republican talking points on Iran and Medicare which I told him were lies. He said "I am just reading them."
I could tell by his responses that he was a Dem but he has a job to do.

He thanked me for a most enjoyable interview. I told him to tell his bosses that their survey will be totally unreliable if they are calling the wrong districts.

BTW I did tell him Blum was a crazy teapartier and a member of the freedom caucus that tried to shut the government down again. He says very 'o jesus'
