The numbers haven't changed in the 20 minutes since your post.

I just voted and it is obviously not registering my vote.

"The count doesn’t change. CNN has long prevented repetitive polling."

impossible. Just use the anonymous internet (torproject) they can't tell who you are or how many times you are voting, because no traceable information is sent.

“By the way, are there any conservative lobbyists?”

That’s a really good question....I can’t think of one. The GOP has plenty of lobbyists, the premier being Grover Norquist, who pushes for amnesty and any cheap labor trade agreement that comes out of congress.

The results are moving a bit, but that 55-45 doesn't seem to move does it?

"Exact same totals as right now, AFTER I voted. Poll is rigged." They are probably using a delay. The results are only updated ever 10-15 mins or so.

Because the dem side is made up of the unemployed young who are being paid to show up. And our side is made of of citizens who care - the "dem rent a crowd people" are more "attractive" to CNN reporters - reporters so stupid they can be tricked into thinking it's still 1968... CNN's reporters are fools or part of the DNC scam...

Here’s how dems recruit their “rent a crowd” people to fill fake town hall meetings.

I’d be happy everyone would send it out to anyone they know...

President Obama’s top priority for Congress is health care reform. Insurance companies are spending over a million dollars a day lobbying against the reform, while feeding myths and fears to America. It will take the same grassroots energy that got Obama elected to see the change we voted for. Our work isn’t over.

Build support for health care reform with U.S. PIRG. Mobilize activists to cut the cost of health care, expand coverage, and stop sick from getting dropped by insurance companies. Go out in your community and make change happen. Make friends and money along the way.

Earn $400-$600 per week. To apply for a job, call Chris at 612-331-1434.

The Fund for the Public Interest has been working for over 25 years with organizations such as Sierra Club, Environment America, Human Rights Campaign, Progressive Future and U.S. PIRG to win concrete victories for the public interest. We are the nation’s premier nonprofit for raising money, building membership and winning grassroots campaigns.
