4. I voted your "No" choice because...
...it came closest to my real view. Before the Iowa caucuses I got used to answering "survey" calls which did not allow me to weigh in for Kucinich. Of course I don't like it, but getting worked up only elevates my blood pressure. Feeling left out doesn't blind me to the value of learning how people would choose given limited options. What burns me is when polls are conducted in this fashion and then reported as if they had sampled the entire range of choices.
