Great News! Shrub only gets 30% in Army Times poll!

[Ilsa]

Duped intentionally because other was locked because I didn't make my position on this "Conservative news site" (???) crystal clear.

Here are the poll results:

If you were going to vote for president right now, which candidate would you support:

Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun 0.24 % (13)
Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) 40.11 % (2,159)
Gov. Howard Dean 6.97 % (375)
Sen. John Edwards 0.54 % (29)
Rep. Dick Gephardt 2.14 % (115)
Sen. John Kerry 17.56 % (945)
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 0.30 % (16)
Sen. Joe Lieberman 0.74 % (40)
Rev. Al Sharpton 1.41 % (76)
President George W. Bush 30.00 % (1,615)
Total votes: 5383

Here's a link to the poll: http://www.armytimes.com/
Scroll down to the bottom.

I love it that the Chimp can't even scrape together 40% from his "conservative readership base" at The Army Times.

Yeah, I knew online polls are not scientific and unreliable, but there are over 5000 votes.

1. Incidentally, why is it that right wing

sources are linked to all the time to bash Clark, but this isn't OK?

3. Wow, they really like Clark

Cool! I still say a Dean/Clark or Clark/Dean ticket would bulldoze a Bush/Anybody ticket.

5. Bad news..

..online polls are worthless. Anyone can vote in this poll, you have no idea if it is the "conservative readership base" at The Army Times is doing the voting, or if this link has found its way to forums like this elsewhere and is being skewed.

Online polls are not scientific, are usually manipulated by political forums that post them to their readership and are rarely if ever shown accurate when matched against real, scientific polls.

Voting in them may be amusing, and I suppose some satisfaction can be had when the results are ones we like, but at the end of the day this poll tells us nothing of significance.

6. And ALL the Bush* votes are the ones

that the PR-driven seargents personally filled in.

7. Hi, Ilsa

Sorry, at the time I locked your first posting on this, I did not see that wyldwolf had previously already posted this same poll. I have to lock this as a dupe, again. Please continue discussion here, in wyldwolf's thread

Thank you
