But sup- pose you vote for (say) Jesse Jackson and you tell the pollsters you didn't. Well, the news will come out that Jesse Jackson isn't doing so good, and everybody who hears it will figure it's futile to vote for him and they'll vote for somebody else. In other words, if you don't tell the truth, you might be endanger- ing your candidate's chances! I think the best approach is simply not to tell the pollsters anything. That is your right, isn't it? <_Jym_> | Jym Dyer | DEC | Nashua, NH | ...{allegra,decvax}!decwrl!rhea!vaxuum!dyer | Thu 22-Mar-1984 10:11 Zen (not EST!) Time
