1. Why even bother?

We all know how AOL polls go. Personally I wouldn't waste my time worrying about it.

2. Doesn't surprise me in the least bit that AOL users support McDinosaur

[nerddem]

19. that is true, i can't think of anyone that still uses aol. nt

[Voice for Peace]

21. LOL dinosaur here

:headbang:

3. ehh let them

have it they spend half the day clearing cookies and voting over and over..i say let them have the aol straw poll and we get the GE...works for me.

[Liberal Gramma]

6. Do you think they know how to clear cookies?

I think AOL users are the least computer savvy on the internet. Many are older Americans, so no surprise that they favor McLame.

4. No use in trying. Someone posts this link almost every day and the results get worse and worse.

[barack the house]

10. How out of sync that poll always tends to be.

[williesgirl]

11. done - McSame 57% to Obama 43% now - rec'd

[Sparkly]

12. We're doomed! DOOMED!!

Republicans are so far ahead, they'll be able to stay home comfortably, just watching the returns roll in on teevee!! Oh what shall become of us?!

[Generic Brad]

13. It was the same way all through the primaries

Hillary Clinton led Barak Obama by similar margins through the primary season. The electoral map looked about the same for him against her as it does against McCain. I wouldn't put too much stock in an AOL straw poll.

14. OR is the only full blue state on their result map

That just seems odd but maybe OR AOLers are simply on board with Obama.

[Danger Mouse]

15. AOL is garbage and so is any poll that comes out of AOL.

[Pool Hall Ace]

16. I didn't even know that AOL was still around.

:blush:

[graywarrior]

17. Ha!

AOL is so unbalanced.

[casus belli]

18. I'm guessing most right-wing talking point emails originate there as well. n/t

20. if visuals account for anything

and they often do, to the point of discrediting reasoning, aol certainly didn't try to skew things mccain's way with those pictures. mccain looks awkward and constipated, obama looks confident and amenable. i just read a thread with a picture comparison of an obama rally to a mccain event and it came to mind that the picture aol used for obama in this poll is one i'd often put side-to-side with mccain.
