  • inactive, on 10/24/2007, -0/+9I thought everyone knew the Old Media polls are rigged to get the answers they are looking for. Zogby, Gallop...they all do it. Once you realize there is an "art" to it and the numbers have to be "interpreted" you realize the whole thing is a sham. They are NOT scientific.
  • Corrosionx, on 10/24/2007, -0/+7I will paste this URL every time someone dismisses Ron Paul because of the "scientific" polls.
  • soulmantim, on 10/24/2007, -0/+7Guys, I have a feeling even with +30 Diggs this article isn't in the 'hot in 2008 elections' list because it has the term "Ron Paul" in it.
    I took out the term "Ron Paul" out of the title and description in another article linking to the same video. Please digg it.

    To hell with this "wasting my vote" crap! If voting for the right person is "wasting my vote" then, dammit, I'm going to waste my vote. And, if enough people "waste their vote" with me, none of them will be wasted.
    If people always pay so much attention to the polls, all they have to do to keep us from voting our conscience/opinion is always show an INITIAL poll with all their choices near the top and the ones we want at the bottom --- it will be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
