TODAY AOL CONDUCTS A FLAWED REPUBLICAN POLL

During this afternoon, AOL and TIME Magazine’s Mark Halperin have been conducting a national poll asking readers to select a GOP front-runner. Across the nation, with few exceptions, the results, by state, including [gulp!] ND, show John McCain way out in front with over 88,000 votes tallied. So why am I not happy?

Halperin’s list of choices does not even include Fred Thompson or Ron Paul. What the hell is that all about?

This is yet another example of the MSM attempting to manipulate what we see, hear and think about the candidates. I wonder if a similar poll on democrats, when it appears, will leave - say - John Edwards off.

[Interesting... at 4:48 PM, this poll was taken down.]

Got a link to where the poll was?

Here’s the AOL link. For some reason, when I click the edit button, I get “SORRY ONLY THE AUTHOR CAN...”

when you get to AOL, click the ‘hotseat’ button.

I’ll be the Paulettes staged a sit in protest at AOL virtual headquarters.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.
