Jason Cherniak tells about his adventures with a new Liberal poll tonight. Well, I just got a call from “Solis 1” myself tonight and it was the same script:

“Liberal delegate meetings are this weekend. Which candidate will you vote for?
Bob Rae, press 1
Scott Brison, press 2
Michael Ignatieff, press 3
Stephane Dion, press 4
Other or undecided, press 5″

Jason said he pressed 4 and got no response. Someone I signed up got it last night and pressed 5 and got no response. For fun, I decided to press 1 for Bob Rae when they called me tonight and I got a reply “thank you for your vote”.

So this is an open call for two things:

1. Has anyone ever heard of the “Solis 1” polling company. A few quick google searches on variations of this yielded nothing.

2. Who else has gotten calls? And, if you have, did you get a response after you pressed for your candidate? Inquiring minds want to know.

(Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting Bob Rae is behind this poll since it makes no sense to me why you wouldn’t just give everyone the “thank you” message regardless of who they vote for. Brison seems to be the only candidate who would benefit from that grouping of candidates and, even then, my hunch is this is just a shitty polling company rather than a campaign poll.)
