Anyone heard of the "Pennslylvania Research Insitutue"

I just got a phone call to respond to a "survey" that was of a very dubious nature. Here is an example of two of the questions (not the exact wording, but pretty close): (1) Who do you think will do more to protect traditional values against the attack from radical gays and lesbians, Casey or Santorum? and (2) Have you seen the recent TV adds discussing how many days of work Casey has missed as treasurer?
Hmmm. Seemed like a campaign effort posing as a survey to me. The survey is being sponsored by the "Pennsylvania Research Institute." Does anyone know anything about this organization? And by the way, in case you're interested, here is a phone number for a "manager" named Dave at the company conducting the survey (800) 845-6448, ext. 229 - in case you'd like to ask him questions about this survey, as I will be doing tomorrow.

Push Poll!
You have just been "push polled!" You are so lucky! I have never been push polled!
Push polls are biased polls conducted by campaigns to use the supposedly impartial nature of a survey to polarize voters against a certain candidate.
It's a dirty, dirty campaign tactic, but you have to sort of admire the creativity of it.
