Obama, the exit interview
November 19, 2008 at 1:23 pm by Scott Henry in NewsThe Obama for America campaign just won a landslide election, but it isn’t done yet. Now it’s looking to collect information from its many supporters and donors that, I can only assume, will allow our president-elect to achieve world domination and enslave the human race. Or perhaps I’ve been listening too much to Congressman Paul Broun.
Anyway, an e-mail survey is circulating with this preamble:
Your hard work and passion have defined this movement for change.
Now you can shape the next phase of our extraordinary effort by sharing your campaign experience and ideas about the future.
There are a few questions about you, your work with the campaign, and your interactions with this organization. At the end, you will also have an opportunity to share any thoughts you have that aren’t covered by the questions.
In addition to the usual name, address, phone number, etc., the survey asks about political leanings, past voting patterns, level of political involvement, occupation, level of religious involvement, issues of primary interest to the respondent and whether the respondent would be willing to “volunteer in your community as part of an Obama organization?”
Finally, there are a number of open-ended questions:
My first thought was, Is someone really going to read all those answers? Because I imagine they may get a lot of long responses. And how will all that information be used?
