This is the latest installment in what I guess could be called my “No offense but…” series questioning the strategy/tactics of those people or organizations whose ideals I may share but whose methods sometimes leave me scratching my head.
Here is a screen capture of what I found after being invited, by an e-mail from the Kasich campaign, to take an “economy survey.” Now, it’s clear by the several posts here that I am a supporter of John Kasich for Ohio governor. Here is just one example of it.
But this can hardly be considered an “economy survey,” can it? It doesn’t, for example, offer much in the way of choices when it asks about “policy changes.” It mentions lowering taxes but is unspecific about the amount. And since no one seems to be talking about raising taxes in an effort to “attract new businesses and create new jobs in Ohio,” what’s the point?
The only information that might be gleaned from such a survey, besides adding contact information to the campaign’s database, is if it was sent to non-committed voters. But if this was sent to those supporting Kasich already, or leaning that way, how many answers will be received that go against what is expected, which is: Yes, No, Yes, Yes?
