5. It is all the same poll - the ones I've been able to get into

and all the above stations appear to be Sinclair affiliates.

4. The sites appear to be overwhelmed

I'm having trouble getting the sites to load and that is unusual for my server, high speed DSL. I usually don't have problems. I hope it means that tens of thousands of Democrats and pissed off Republicans and Independents are voting for free speech and against Sinclair!

6. They are probably using a bot of some sort

to freep the polls.

68% No

15. Whew, I'm glad you said that. I'm having trouble loading them, too.

I thought my computer had picked up a virus because my server is high-speed digital cable.

The question bothered me: "Do you think John Kerry should answer the (smear boat liars)?" Vietnam was sooooo long ago, & despite Kerry's young age as an anti-war protester, I thought his actions at that time showed incredible integrity & principles. Some people will just never get it.

[fknobbit]

13. Yep

Changed it to questions, either, if answered, implies that the crap should be shown

14. I find it disturbing how they capitalize "Documentary" in a few of those

polls.
