I encountered the oddest tactic to sway my opinion on the upcoming election
today. I received a phone call from a company called "GHY Research". The
call begins like a neutral political survey poll asking me questions such as
my choices for president, governor, and lieutenant governor. About 5 minutes
into the survey the caller begins to ask loaded questions such as "Richard
Burr sided with RJ Reynolds and voted against a tobacco buyout hurting our
North Carolina farmers. Does this make you more or less likely to vote for
Mr. Burr?"

Incredible.
