Only 5,000 FB members took part? How could that be? I thought godot had billions of FB friends.
Yeah, right. So silly.
Facebook only has 250 Million daily users in the USA. How could they get an accurate sample from that small a group.
She sure will. Cain is toast. According to the 230-million Americans on Facebook, anyway. Good point.
;^\
And Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are the most popular with those facebook users.
I’ll stick with “likely voters” as a more realistic poll source to consider.
Wouldn’t it be great if these were the actual polling numbers that Sarah got from the inner cities, from latino communities, from arab asian and jewish voters, from union workers, government workers, immigrant citizens, and soccer moms?
Seriously, no matter how good an internet-based poll looks, none of them are worth the electrons wasted on them. They are self-selecting and easy to rig.
The actual scientific polls are mostly crap at this stage, and they’re responsible compared to internet polls.
What a ridiculous and sophmoric comment. Do you actually believe that your stupid little Facebook poll is reperesentative of all Facebook users??? Do You??? ROTFLMAO!!!!!
What irritates me is that, not only do they obsessively haunt the Palin threads, but they compulsively and incessantly post the same inane, childish attacks on her.
Frankly, I think it's an abuse of the forum, and of their fellow Freepers.
I'm not talking about people who post things like, "Cain has better qualifications" (bolobaby). That's an honest opinion, and a debatable point. Not a demented attack.
I hereby nominate this thread as the stupidest post of the week.

just caught the Beckett reference. Extra points for you, very clever.
So what was the sample in that poll? What is the split of D's and R's? What was the weight of rabid Palin supporters that actively looked for the poll or told to vote for it? Were all the participants located in one state or was it nation wide and what was the distribution?
I must have missed that info in the post since you say this is such a great barometer.
Actually, it isn’t the governor, whose quote you paraphrase, who’s citing this poll.
cheers,

“LMAO!!! For selling pizza?”
That is a gross mischaracterization of his successful career. How about if I do that to Palin?
“LMAO!!! For failing to complete a single full term as governor?”
See how easy this game is?
It’s just interesting that almost 70% of Facebook participants (most of the population by now) feel she is qualified and can beat Obama.
<><><><><><
800,000 worldwide facebook users.
I hear the number 250,000 US facebook users on this thread.
And your takeaway is that the 5000 who actually participated is a representative cross section of the US voting population?
If that were the case, would we not be referring to her as Madame Vice President?
If a sample of 1200 polled can be a scientific representation of the 315-million in America, then 5,000 is enough for an accurate sample of the 250-million Facebook users.
Why must you pretend to be an obtuse ignoramus? Or is this not an act...?
8^D
You do that. In fact, what are you doing on this thread, if this is so beneath you? Go stick to your Fruit-of-the-looms, fudgekin.
8^D
Yeah... too bad there's none of them on Facebook... (LOL!).
Thackney says it's all Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber fans... 250-million of them, apparently. (What a dunce!)
LMAO!!!!
8^D
LOL!
