Push Poll in the Broad Run District

A robo-dialed poll from Iowa went to a co-worker.

He described the questions to me as being framed as Democrat vs. Republican, with no mention of an Independent candidate. The questions included:
  • "Will you vote for the Republican or the Democratic candidate?" 
  • "Do you consider yourself a "Republican" or a "Democrat?"
  • Will you vote for Andrea McGimsey or Shawn Williams?"
The poll was very clearly pro-Andrea (mentioned MIT -- my co-worker knew she'd attended that school -- and environmental issues).

My co-worker said he answered the above questions with:
  • "I'll be voting for the Independent"
  • "I am an Independent"
  • "I'll be voting for Cliff Keirce"
He said he liked Cliff's demeanor when Cliff was at his door, and thought he was very knowledgeable.

If you receive a call like this and happen to record it, please send it on!
