A Poll I Like: Americans Want Candidates To Ignore Cell Phones

From Fox News/Opinion Dynamics:

When a presidential candidate is in the middle of giving a campaign speech, do you think he or she should interrupt the speech to take a cell phone call from their spouse, or should the call be ignored until after the speech?

              Interrupt Speech    Ignore Call     Depends     Don’t Know
Totals               9                 81            9             2
Democrats           10                 79           10             2
Republicans          8                 84            6             1
Independents         8                 80           11             1

But what if you have to take the call because of 9/11?

9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, 9/11.

Rudy at a campaign rally on 9/11. His phone starts ringing and he answers it:

Rudy: hello darling, 9/11

Wife: 9/11 to you too

Rudy: Did you put up the listing of '9/11 ashes from corpses' on ebay?

Wife: yes, I did

Rudy: Did you make sure that the minimum bid is $9.11?

Wife: yes dear

Rudy: Love you 9/11

Wife: bye, 9/11

Rudy: 9/11

Rudy hangs up and continues with the speech.
