The more I think about today’s polls, the more I believe only 3 choices (Ige, Hanabusa, Hee) might have been given to the callers (responders); and most likely, I was not included in the choices.

Among other reasons,

1. I did not receive even one vote from the 498 random callers, which is very unlikely if I was included in the choices.

2. The callers might have not been allowed, other than those 3 choices.

3. Hanabusa’s 47% vote might have been unusually high; and, it must have been out of those 3 candidates.

4. The media have been mentioning only those 3 candidates, all the time (so far), as if they are the only candidates.
