Yep. While I dont see the poll as anything but a sampling, why not leve it alone or put in an error margin of 80%? The media is running this election and controlling the minds of a majority of America. I do hate those bastards.......yes I do.

Internet polls are stupid and appallingly inaccurate. They shouldn't even pretend they mean something, and sorry to all the Dennis and Darth Paul supporters, but there just isn't a snowballs chance.

It is winter time. wink.gif Snowballs like winter.

And we could also take a look at some other polls, like Straw Polls that so many used to talk about.

Paul has won 25 out of 46 across the country.

And put to shame the other candidates if comparing wins/loses.

He also won the first ever National Caucus along with Obama. I will find the link.

Straw polls are local and state gatherings where people actually vote.

The National Caucus is new, and is also actual voters getting together to vote, and it then has the data organized and advertised on the internet.
