10. He looks 35 though
I'm 35 and I wish I was that purty.

Not an Edwards supporter, but I gave him the vote since he is more than up to the job.

2. I wouldn't bother
since all online polls of any significance get freeped. Let em have their fun. Freepers are irrelevent in any case.

13. Respectfully disagree.
Read the first chapter of Will Pitt's "Sedition." These online polls, as frivilous as they may seem, can later be referenced as source material when the media reports on "public opinion."

By being manipulated in this manner ("freeped") and later cited, these polls can thus actually shape public opinion.

5. What do you mean, freeped?
A strong majority of Democrats don't want John Edwards as a candidate.
