Bill O' Pulls Cain and Paul from Poll; Declares Romney Winner (Vanity)
The O'Reilly Factor / September 30, 2011 | September 30, 2011 | no dems

Posted on 09/30/2011 8:37:52 PM PDT by no dems

Bill O'Reilly said on the O'Reilly Factor tonight, that Herman Cain and Ron Paul were pulled from his poll of Republican candidates at billoreilly.com because their supporters were "flooding" the poll. So, they had to be pulled from the poll and therefore declared Romney the winner. What a pompous S.O.B.

People are calling for blowback - emails/calls/Facebook/Twitter to O’Reilly and call him out on this BS.

BOR lost me as a viewer about 6 months ago. Several times a month he reminds me why that was a good decision.

Cain and Paul are running the best two campaigns right now. It makes sense to me. WTH was Bill thinking ?

Bill, you don’t pull the top vote-getters just to name somebody else the winner. You might try to factor (pun intended) the possible weight of extra votes, but you also have to remain open to the possibility that Paul and Cain really have garnered that kind of support.

Maybe you should get out of polling altogether. Because it is “unscientific” we all know that the only reason to do it is to keep an eye on the identity of current viewer’s.

I like to watch the show when Laura Ingraham is his guest host. I wish they would make her the permanent host.

PaulBots do flood polls and his artificial numbers in every poll prove it.

But there is no history or evidence that Cain's supporters so such things so it was wrong for BORe to put Cain in the same category as Paul.

The guy defines smarmy. God works in mysterious ways. O’reilly is top ten in mystery. Can’t see why anyone ever gave this cretin credence.

It’s a legitimate gripe.

However, at the same time, how does he know no-one twittered out to stuff the boxes for the others? How does he control for that? How did he know about Cain/Paul - someone happened to see about such messages?

That’s a different poll ... changed the question a bit. The results of the previous poll with Cain and Paul winning have now been removed to cyberspace ... can’t find it even you click on “see results of previous polls.” NO SPIN ZONE? I don’t think so.

Hey, Bill! Why don’t you go ahead and reveal your true leftist identity?! You’re not fooling us.
