An AOL poll would be very very low on the list of priorities of the RNC.
My guess is the results reflect those who stumbled upon the page and
spent the time to enter in the pass code. It is not a scientific poll.
As time said, FWIW (not much). Nothing more, nothing less.

Experience with Republican conservatives on gun discussion boards.
Anytime an internet survey pops up that impacts gun owners, the word
goes out to every gun board to log onto the site and swamp the survey.
Works every time.

But if you go below the poll to the "comments" you will find one guy
heckeling Barrack, while afterwards there are endless posts by one
"Voice of Reason" who must be a 'bot posting for Obama's case. I don't
see how someone can make so many posts at 2:45 pm.

Naw. Just someone who has figured out how to play games with AOL's
servers. I've been on gun discussion boards where posters claim they and
their buddies completely reversed polls in a few hours with thousands
and thousands of "votes." AOL doesn't care...the more hits on its
servers for these polls, the happier AOL is.

I'm not convinced any of the national polls have much significance yet.
The state polls are far more interesting. Most of the non-aligned polls
that keep track of state results have Obama ahead by anywhere from 70 to
well over 100 electoral college votes.

Oh I do understand. I mean, AOL alone will allow you to have 6 email's
or at least used to. and I'm sure there's somebody pumping the polls
for all their worth. But I'm still trying to figure out how "voice of
reason" can make so many posts in one minute, unless they already have
their "speech" lined out and cut 'n paste every 10 seconds or so.

Uhh, Jack...I think the question and the response went right over your
head. What was being discussed was a particular AOL poll, the responses
to which reminded me of the "slam that poll" posts I seen on gun boards.

I never mentioned nor alluded to Obama. In point of fact, I don't pay
the slightest attention to the AOL polls on any subject, or polls
administered as AOL administers its polls.

Nothing went over my head. You dismiss the poll as being flawed
because of this "gun forum" thing you believe exists, but are now
trying to dodge the fact that the same thing exists among libs. Where
are they in this poll?

And actually, you do pay quite a bit of attention to these AOL polls.
You did the last time it was posted, and you've made 5 posts to this

No, Jack...I paid attention to a perfectly reasonable poster named Tim.

I have no idea whether "libs" play the same sort of games with polls of

You can do that with Mozilla Thunderbird, too, and probably several
