3 things..

1. How is a mayor a superdelegate?
2. Is he..young or old? He looks like he's like 19, but he has gray hair? lol
3. Email him (click his picture) and explain how Obama is advertising it, and how his supporters use those robo-voter things.

Waste of time voting - it is being spammed - easily. Instead write in his comments that his poll is being spammed by Obama's thugs and talk about the dishonest caucuses and put in the Hammas and Ayers and Auchi and Wright and hate for 20 years... Tons of stuff - just make sure it is accurate and edit it all down carefully before putting in - good spelling etc. ;)

Yes I did leave a comment also. It is just annoying that these polls are not some how recognizing robovoting and not stopping it.

[Annie]

Okay I went in and posted - here it is (Hyacinth)
Just a comment for Mr. Ryan - His poll is being spammed easily by Barak supporters.

I would ask that he carefully consider who he will support for the Democratic nomination for President. Please take a look at this site and
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/archive/s_563322.html

"Senator Clinton is extremely knowledgeable on crucial foreign issues. Meeting with Trib editors last month, she ticked off an impressive list of international challenges and the solutions. (In Wednesday's Philadelphia debate, Obama praised George H.W. Bush's foreign policy -- apparently not realizing that one of its architects was then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, a man he regularly excoriates.)"

It is extremely important that we make the correct choice at this time in this great country of ours. We know who Senator Clinton is and we know she stands for all of us no matter our race, religion or fundamental beliefs. We do not know who Senator Obama is other than the contacts he keeps close and refuses to deny.

[mkreyns]

Everyone must vote and email this poll. It has been taken over by the Obama fans! I think we should send a postal letter because many of the older Hillary supporters are not that computer savvy.

[HillaryProblemSolver]

Voted.
We need many more voters for Hillary.


Barack Obama (1816) 97%
Hillary Clinton (64) 3%



"This nomination is worth fighting for and I’m going to fight for it.” Hillary Rodham Clinton - campaigning in Oregon, April 2008.

[Tea toaD]

This is insane. I voted but geesh:mad:

[kyforhillary]

I actually thought he came out for Clinton yesterday.

[kyforhillary]

I don't know how to do it but somebody could take that video of all the bad guys and put it in a post and let the guy actually go look at it and everybody else that wanted to.

[mjno7777]

Yes, keep voting BUT READ THE COMMENTS. They are fantastic. Can someone email TOM RYAN to read the comments and explain what we have been tolerating from CAMP OBAMA.

[mjoynaples]

left note that he needed to seriously consider his vote and that the poll might be tampered with and that would not be the best measure and instead to look at HRC's record and that BO is less likely to be a viable option given his on-going poor choices of people to defend and support at the expense of the USA and all the people in it-we need renewal and restoration and Senator Hillarya Clinton is the one to bring that about with grace, dignity and integrity.

HILLARY RISE RISE!!!! :)

[Soaring Eagle]

Voted. Obama people have hit that one hard!:mad:

[RayinAR]

Get the word out about this poll. Email to as many as you can. Please send out to as many Pennsylvanians as possible. All votes look good but it would look better if a lot of them actually came from PA.

[Jan26]

Voted.

[mcgowan.swan]

i'll vote but i thought he committed to hillary yesterday? why is the poll there if he has already chosen? i am confused.

[RayinAR]

That was Tim Ryan of OH this is Tom Ryan of PA. Murray what do you think of making this poll a sticky?

[Horizon]

You can always tell when the BO's are hijacking a poll.They never leave any comments ,they're too busy voting.

[Optixmom]

voted and will try to vote from all of the computers in my office...:D

[Bella]

Everyone please comment over there. You don't need an account to do so.

[lynfreedom]

Barack Obama (1851) 93%
Hillary Clinton (144) 7%


going to clear cookies and restart that should let me vote again

[PAangelRN]

I voted and emailed my list with the poll and told the people on my list to email everyone they know that will vote for Hillary!

I will also write a letter to him!

I am not sure how to put a message in their blog.

[Laura Cereta]

Voted. It's now 92% BO and 8% Hillary. The Obamabots jumped all over that one. :mad: Keep voting, guys!

[Bella]

:confused: Who is this guy?

Ok, I found a YouTube of this so PLEASE comment under his video.

YouTube - Tom Ryan, Undecided SuperDelegate

[Bella]

Ok, I guess this guy is an actor and not a super?

Tom Ryan is a character in an upcoming movie abut politics in Scranton. I believe that, in the movie, the character of Tom Ryan is running for mayor. The actor playing him marched - in character - in the St. Patrick's Parade. I know this because the producer or director or writer or whatever of the film sent the station an email to promote his appearance.

http://gort42.blogspot.com/2008/03/tom-ryan-for-mayor-of-scranton.html

[RayinAR]

yes he did...he was intelligent enough not to listen to them!

http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=7186

however the point stands...vote in these polls even if BO is ahead...and post them here so people who know how to fight the spam can.

Actually no he didn't. That was Tim Ryan Rep from Ohio. This is Tom Ryan who is running for mayor of Scranton Pennsylvania.

[Average Jane]

not all polls are spammable...I don't think this one is, I cleared my cache and revoted and it didn't change the vote count. Some polls are one vote per IP address so you can't SPAM them. Some aren't. How do you know this poll is being spammed? It could be just not enough of us have voted on it yet. Remember, Obama has a paid team of internet people who do nothing but vote in polls and make comments....some are located overseas. There is nothing to prevent people from overseas from voting and commenting in these things. If anything, I would point that fact out to this guy, along with the act that not all supporters are tech savvy or even have access to computers.

[Average Jane]

STOP! Do NOT respond to the poll! I think it is a scam!

[Average Jane]

the Obama followers discovered he was a fake yesterday..do NOT respond to the poll or send it out:

http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/caitlinharvey/gGCg4R/commentary

Also. he is NOT on the list of Super Delegates:

http://www.nytimes.com/ref/us/politics/20080217_SUPERDELEGATES_GRAPHIC.html

Watch his videos...he is a comedian...it is a fraud.

[ZY123]

STOP! Do NOT respond to the poll! I think it is a scam!

Post the links....I'm trying to find his name officially anywhere....you may be right.

EDIT: I see your links...I think you're right. Interesting how far south the election has gone.

[Average Jane]

I say let the Obama followers post away on it...lol Obviously none of them bothered to look at the guys videos and see he is a comedian.

[PAangelRN]

I googled him and it looks like he is a comedian. Checking the superdelegate list I did not see him on there

Oh well, we were doing good. Lets put our efforts to something else.

[WV4Hillary]

How can it be..a scam? He can't steal information like that or anything..lol. But let the Obama peeps have fun with it..

[tcbwriter]

This guy is RUNNING for Mayor and sounds a little kooky. We get the kooks who run for mayor of my city every election!

Check out this site with a brief article about him.

http://gort42.blogspot.com/2008/03/tom-ryan-for-mayor-of-scranton.html

Just makes me wonder if he's truly a superdelegate. I know there's a list somewhere . . .

[Average Jane]

scam as in fraud...not real...fake....etc.

I already posted the list and he is not on it...this is a joke.

Also, watch the videos on that site, they are clearly satire. It is a joke.

[Santiago]

Vote bots have hit that site.

Seems to me this is something to keep Clinton supporters busy this weekend!

[emmyCA]

Voted,

Folks, please don't waste your time with this. It's a prank, a hoax, a diversion. Spend your hard-earned time elsewhere and don't give them any hit counts.

Here is the Official Super-Delegate list (http://s3.amazonaws.com/apache.3cdn.net/c2ce7258d3edb3031f_1bm6bnhlx.pdf) from the DNC. Please bookmark this to use as cross-references.

I sent him an email, too, giving him all the reasons why he should vote for Hillary.

An absurd poll....:rolleyes:

Here's another one that missed the blinding flash of the obvious. Help him see the light:

We already determined this to be a hoax! Good eyes though.Keep watching!!

[Patsy]

Agree with Mary... wasn't this a hoax?

Yes it was a Hoax. Merging it with the original.

Go vote,

this man wants to take a poll to see who he should endorse, from Scranton??? please, take a moment and let him know what you think.

This was my comment to him:
you have the chance to stop the democratic national party from making a fatal mistake. But that is a judgement you have to make for yourself. I hope you don't use the excuse that my "child" told me to in your decision. I also don't think holding an online poll should help you with all we know about bloggers etc... why not dig deep and think about who really has been vetted and who really can roll up their sleeves for America. There are a lot of SD that have jumped onto the Obama bandwagon, thinking they will get some kind of bread crumbs from the appointed one. That saddens me, but does not surprise when Obama seems to lead the pack in making nice with whoever can give him the most money or "in" to the politics. Ayers, Reznik, Rev. Wright, the unbitter, unreligeous, un gun owner rights, hate everyone that isn't like them supporters. Please don't include yourself in these.

[joeysky18]

Another silly poll. He wants to run for mayor or he's already a major or something.

If he can't decide for himself and need an online poll to decide, I seriously think that he's even unfit for a mayor for la-la-land.

don't waste time. today is very critical. Stay focus people.

spend your time doing things that matter.

[joeysky18]

He's definitely not qualified to be Superdelegate. I"m sure he's already in the tank for Obama.

[swannyj]

If this is what he is going to use to make a decision it is just a way for him to justify voting OB. Anyone with any sense knows this would not be a real picture of the voters. I did try to go there and vote yesterday but his site is not friendly to anyone that is forced to use dial up.

[lalene]

is this a joke?

If this has been confirmed as a HOAX people should stop wasting time on it and focus on constructive tasks!

[pnevai]

Actually this can be use to make a case that Obamabots are so gullible and nieve that they can't tell the difference between a comedian and the real thing. I would suggest to spam, this address to all the pro Obama sites.

[floorrunner]

yes he did...he was intelligent enough not to listen to them!

however the point stands...vote in these polls even if BO is ahead...and post them here so people who know how to fight the spam can.

This is not the same person. The one that came out i support of Hillary is congressman Tim Ryan from Ohio. The website that we are looking at is for Tom Ryan who is running for mayor of Scranton PA

[Jayling]

It's easy for anyone to get caught up in it, not realizing something is truly a scam. No need to rub anyone's faces into the dirt.

[Patricia GA]

I had a link for it from Hillary Rapid Responders in my e-mail at 12:11am Tuesday. They need to know it is a hoax.

[Peppermint Patty]

And I just got a notice to vote via HillaryRapidResponders tonight! Guess they thought it was real too...well I'm glad it's not. I was aghast that someone could be so cavalier about their precious superdelegate vote!

[ZY123]

Please read the entire thread, there is No Tom Ryan running for mayor of Scranton thus why his name is not on any of the super delegate lists...it is a HOAX by some stupid comedian Tom Ryan - an untalented wannabe comedian.

[VA4HRC]

Who found out it was a hoax? Also, what is funny about a poll? The term "comedian" does not fit this guy at all.

[HRH Jorge]

Sorry bout contributing to the hoax- Color me gullible I fell for it.

[Artists4Hillary]

[tcbwriter]

Oh please, not that again. What a waste of time - especially today when we should all be working to get out the vote for Hillary!! :eek:
