A pollster called last night. I wasn't doing anything else, so I told Andy I'd talk to them.
The man introduced himself, and asked if I was planning to vote in the Democratic primary. I said yes. He started to ask another question, then hesitated. I heard background noise. He apologized, and asked me to hold on a minute.
At that point, I said "They must have given you a script. Take a deep breath, and find your place." He did, and asked who I was going to vote for for Public Advocate. Then he thanked me for my patience.
The odd thing is, I suspect I'd intended something harsher after "They must have given you a script," but the part of me that solves problems took over from the sarcastic part: if there's a script, then you can find your place and go on.
I'm also more than a little startled that someone has hired a polling firm to ask only about the primary for public advocate; they didn't want to know about mayor, or anything else on the ballot.

Or maybe, while he was talking to you, they satisfied the quota of people like you that they needed.
