SPIN THOSE POLLS! SPIN THOSE POLLS! [10/13 02:50 PM]
UPI reports on the efforts to spin online polls and mass-mailed letters to the editor.
President George W. Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry will walk across the stage Wednesday night and greet each other at the beginning of the third and final presidential debate. Already, across the country, e-mail messages are arriving in newsroom inboxes declaring a winner. A new form of spam is emerging this fall, called debate-spin spam, experts told UPI's The Web. The veracity of the e-mail messages being sent as letters to the editor is coming into question, as are the timing and content of many of the messages, because a significant percentage is being generated by bots, or intelligent software agents.
Which reminds me, it's time for the Pajamahadeen to continue our jujitsu operations. We had some success recently, but I think it's time to set our sights higher.
As usual, the instant online polls of news organizations, that the DNC is steering its members to here, will be less valuable and useful if the result is so stunningly skewed that no one believes it. So a poll that shows Kerry won 99 percent to 1 percent is less useful to the DNC than one that shows Kerry won 70 percent to 30 percent....
I agree.
I'm so disheartened that Kerry won the 3rd debate by 98%.
!
I agree - don't shoot til election day ..
I don't even believe that the DNC activists are that good. They have computers running up most of the polls.
This is a good plan and soooo much easier.... let the demwits work themselves into a frenzy for nothing...
The best way to do this is to hold your nose and vote for Kerry in the online polls. Let's see just how skewed we can get them... ;-)
I'd like to think that, but Kerry got trounced in the 2nd debate and all this week I've been hearing about how it was a big win for Kerry.
I always thought people could see through Clinton and Perot too.
Bump!
AGREE!
I agree, plus I've just got better things to do with my time, like come here and critique Bush and Kerry, or yell at the talking heads on TV, or read more Unfit for Command, or just go to bed.
Maybe somebody could post a list of the polls we're supposed to ignore.
Well, they didn't see through the 70-30%..they(Chrissy) reported it gleefully to his rat audience and they were all orgasmic...
A very creative plan. Love it. I'm in.
Got it :-)
It's just completely ridiculous. The looney left manipulated online polls, then used them as evidence of a kerry win. Even worse is the MSM using their own obviously faulty web polls as some sort of proof.
The world has gone insane around me.
Yup! good thought
LET'S ROLL!
