(Oct. 2, 2008) CALL TO ACTION! "FREEPING FOR JESUS": THE VP DEBATE Hotlist (Daily Kos) Now we know why polls are skewed

[Andy_Licious]

We knew it was true, now we have proof.

The Kossacks have been doing their bit to help BO.

1. THIS IS A NETROOTS EFFORT! We need YOUR help, not simply to vote in these polls, but to help us find them! If you came here expecting me to have already done all of the work for everybody and provide a list of links directly to online polls, I'm sorry to disappoint you. I have no idea who is going to put up a poll or where they are going to put it. Besides, this is a gargantuan task. I've done my best to provide a good starter list, but it's not perfect. YOU need to find exact locations and give the rest of us updates. This is a team effort!

2. Be patient! Not all of these sites put polls up right away. Some do. Some take an hour or more after the debate. Some may take several hours. Be patient. If you can't find a poll move on and check back.

3. Do what you can. I'm aware that looking for polls is a pain in the ass. If you get tired or frustrated, come back later. We should have a pretty substantial list ready for you to vote on. Get your friends and family to vote on them too..

Well, hopefully after McCain wins this election, the Daily Kos will encourage their readers to jump off a bridge to no where.

Is that ugly?

Andy,
Obama has paid bloggers since the beginning of his campaign. They are ruthless. so don't believe the polls

What really pisses me off is these internet polls are NOT SCIENTIFIC - they can be manipulated and all you have to do is delete cookies to vote more than once. Yet the "news" cites them to say who won the debate?! It is beyond irresponsible!

I truly believe these polls have always been a waste of time. Even though I participate, if BHO or Biden are ahead, then you know it's tampered with. Many repubs, just let it go. No sense on wasting time.

At least WE know what is happening. We always knew this as well and tried fighting the onslaught.
