Computer geeks -

Is it possible teh DNC could have sort of "auto spammed" this poll to make it look like a Edwards  win???

I just doubt ONE MILLION individuals logged in to this poll in less than 12 hours.

And that 65% of them think Edwards won.

Just NOT beleivable, IMO.

They can nuke an MSNBC online poll just like we nuke gun control polls. If you don't have the cookie for the website to see, then it thinks you are a new visitor and will let you vote as much as you want.

This is why online polls are useless to look at.

Right, but can they run a computer program to AUTO slam the poll??

Another 5K votes were tallied on the poll in about 10 minutes.


Correction - NOT 5K - FIFTY K!!!!!!!!

Yes they can hit a poll just like we can. Also DUh has all of the polls hotlinked. Sadly there are people in this country that make their decision on who to vote for based simply on who others,, let me say this again OTHERS won the debates.

i have been seeing a lot of polls with Edwards the apparent winner.  My only question is " WHAT DEBATE DID THEY WATCH".  Cheney was the clear and decisive winner.  end of story.

Probably the programmer at PMSNBC juiced the numbers
