That said, what is so shocking about it? Would it be so awful if voters could just phone an 800 number and push 1 for X candidate and 2 for Y candidate? How about a show of hands? The irony here is, most people who actually vote let it be known how they voted. If they want to keep it private...hmm, is that even possible these days?

You know that even mentioning this bit of marketing fluff by a cell phone maker, much less suggesting that it might have a measurable sampling error, gives it more attention than it deserves. It's not a serious survey of anything, it is just a fancy way for Samsung to say "texting is cool, do more texting, buy a phone designed for heavy texting" Oh come on, Anne… You know that even mentioning this bit of marketing fluff by a cell phone maker, much less suggesting that it might have a measurable sampling error, gives it more attention than it deserves.
