5. CNN.com

The question was about who won the debate but it's now asking if the VP debate will help people make up their minds for President.

I checked it a couple of times before they posted their poll - then it came up as this:



Word War II

3. cnn.com is run by a bunch of rightwing freaks

trust me, i know.

[Sparkle]

6. I have been meaning to ask you....

Why did they shut down the cnn message boards. They rocked. But once chimpy was selected, they got snotty and closed them down. Do you know anything about that?

[newsguyatl]

7. not sure about that.

[w4rma]

20. CNN banned me from their board, for reasons they never told me.

Probably because some right-winger who was moderating them didn't like me ripping up Smirk in front of all those folks. Or maybe because I was shouting about their right-wing bias on their boards.

This was back in 2000 or 2001, btw.

8. I just voted

on the poll...it is there

[Sparkle]

4. I went to view the poll and thought they would ask who won,

but it said someting like did the debates change who you will vote for. I guess they know what the freepers are up to.

[Skip Intro]

13. They did ask who won - Edwards was winning, & they changed the question

How much more blatant can they be?

Oh, I shouldn't have asked that...

[TexasSissy]

They know what we AND the freepers are up to. We're better at this

internet thing, despite the Repubs working at it. They know both parties are getting their followers to hit the polls, making them virtually useless for finding out who really won the debate. And we end up having more people vote just because we're more passionate & more prone to using the internet.

Too bad.

[Maddy McCall]

9. Before CNN pulled it, Edwards was winning with 82% of the vote.

Remember that.

[geek tragedy]

10. Vote NO!

Put the focus on aWol.

[gauguin57]

11. The poll on who won is on another CNN page ...

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/

There.

The one on CNN.com is "did it change your decision." on the link above, it's who won. And Edwards is winning that poll.

[CrowNotAngelGRL]

15. I voted

and Edwards is winning 77% to Edwards and 18% on Cheney.

[GingerSnaps]

16. Done

[LibertyorDeath]

17. They are a contemptible POS propaganda machine for the Right

[The Magistrate]

18. The 'Who Won?' Question Is Still There, Ladies And Gentlemen

You must go to the page devoted to debate coverage, and there it will be....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"
