Biggest Laugh of the Campaign. You won't believe this one...
AOL is running an on line straw vote. You click on either McCain or Obama. Then you check the results and you can also scan over each state, state by state,to see who is winning in that state.

The results, thus far are McCain 67% and Obama 33% of the total vote. (about 400,000 votes cast.)

Now, here's the funny part...

Run your pointer over some states, for example, Massachusetts, California, Illinois,Rhode Island, etc...... and guess who it shows is winning these states......JOHN FREAKING OLD SENILE MCCAIN.

Now, that's a poll we all can believe in. BTW, McCain is winning in ALL 50 states. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

7. I swear, it's the truth
They moved some programmers into my office temporarily because we had some space and they use that term for them all the time.

3. Well, that's because it's an AOL poll.
AOL was designed for people who are...shall we say...technologically challenged.

9 out of 10 idiots have AOL.

4. My grandma uses AOSmell. She can't figure out how to load regular websites in a browser.
I think she really just needs one of those email machines and a nintendo handheld game player so she can play mahjong and sodoku.

8. geeze
yall r mean about aol...I on aol. I have just had the same e mail accounts since 96.

The poll on aol is hacked every year. If you spend any time on some of the right wing forums you get it...these basement trolls vote on each account..they have 5 then clear the cookies and go vote again...if you have that kind of time to kill more power to you...anyway that map has been pure red for 3 elections now.

10. the poll taht Iput stockin is Nickolodeon's
If you accept that the 2004 election went for Kerry but was stolen by Bush, something a poll can't deal with, they have been right on the money every time since they started doing Presidential polls.

Little kids don't lie, and for the most part they parrot what their parents plan to do vote-wise.

11. Good. Maybe with his landslide victory assured,
a few of them won't feel the need to vote on election day.

That "poll" has been that way for two months. AOL is a pug dominated site, always has been.
