Blitzer's poll today "Should elections be postponed yada yada..."
Should the U.S. postpone the presidential election in the event of a terrorist attack?

Yes 4% 43 votes

No 96% 1112 votes

There's not many votes surprisingly, and it could be easily freeped if they spot it before he calls the results.
Please vote if you haven't at http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/late.edition/

1. Fuck Blitzer
and fuck his polls.

(Nothing against your question Career Prole. It's just that Blitz always gets on my nerves but today it's worse than usual).

12. The real trouble with his polls...
is that if the vote goes against the point he wants to make, he won't use it.

4. The voting is still at about the same percentages. I hate to be a voice
of optimism but I do not think most Americans, no matter how deluded, think that suspending elections are a good idea. Maybe the RW media hasn't been doing a good enough job on this issue.

5. Even asking the question is attempting to validate an invalid issue
Its trying to plant a seed for future elections as to try and make it okay. Trying to dilute the truth and reality that this is a huge violation and abuse of power.

In the history of America, this gross violation has never been OKAY.

It is cowards like Blitzer who dont have the moral composition to realize it is outrageous and toxifying our Democratic system by merely posing such an unconscionable question.

6. This trial balloon has been floated, and shot down.
I voted in this, BTW. Shrubco revisits this at their own peril.

11. I agree. I think this is an issue that will pull them down FAST.
Because won't the terrorists have proven that they have much more power than the bushies if this is allowed to happen?

9. Do you think the only people watching Blitzer are us DUers? BWAHAHAHAHA!
So few viewers and Americans are so uninformed... this program is broadcast when most "church attending" Americans are not home.

10. this is so transparent
the only possible point in postponing elections would be to reinstall bush, inc without the people's consent...again. pathetic and sad that things have come to this, but what do you expect from the same people who rigged florida and got the supreme court to create a one-time only law just for bush.

13. Postpone elections and Bush will become Caesar . . .
. . . according to Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. The poll is now 3% yes and 97% no.

14. I really think Moore's movie did alot to put this in perspective.

Alot of people were awakened to the fact that their government is manipulating them through fear. Now, all this "should we postpone the elections?" bullshit just pisses them off.
