PLEASE DU This PBS Poll that is being FREEPED: Is Sarah Palin Qualified to be Vice President?

[HamdenRice]

I received this email from a member of one of my Brooklyn writers groups. I normally don't ask for DU "love" for such polls, but under the circumstances ... I've deleted identifying information.

PBS has a question for you

Subject: Let your voice be heard. PBS has a question for you regarding
Palin.

PBS is doing one of those instant online polls to ask 'America' if
they think Sarah Palin is fit to be Vice President. The GOP has
launched a successful all out blitz to get Republicans to go on the
site and click 'Yes'. As a result PREVIOUSLY 62% of 'America' think
Palin is qualified....WRONG. The Republicans are going to be milking
this for all its worth in their press efforts.

We need to drive more Democrats and those opposed to Palin to the site
to click 'NO'. Let's not give the GOP another easy weapon to put in
their PR arsenal!

You don't have to enter your email address or anything, just click
'NO' and forward to family and friends!

Please take a second (literally) to vote and then pass it along!

4. If that's the case now, it wasn't a few weeks ago when this poll was first discussed.

You could vote over and over and over again.

It's a waste of time.

8. "Total Votes: 50,357,316"

I find it hard to believe that 50,357,316 unique IPs voted in that poll.

So they clamped it after it had been freeped. Way to go, PBS! :sarcasm:

6. The question should be...

Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to be President of the United States, since there is a damn good chance that would ultimately be the job title she would have!!

7. An email? That explains it.

I wondered why people kept posting this poll.

I voted for the freepteenth time anyway.
