AOL is running a straw poll to see which candidate you would vote for.  I am sort of surprised that McCain is way ahead with 66% to 34% for Obama.  Vote for your fav here.

AOL polls typically show a left bias, probably a moderate left bias  punctuated with an extremely high level of miscomprehension of modern politics.  It is the “I feel” crowd that doesn’t go for thinking through a problem.  Even the poll is superficial- you can only choose between the two establishment picks.  Why can I not choose myself?

Because that would be immodest and you don't want to look like a showoff. Wink

My choice would have nothing to do with vanity; it would have to do with simple reading comprehension of the US Constitution.  The two prime clowns don’t have any clue whatsoever as to the words written by our Founders.

I was just joking. Don't be so serious!

AOL polls do NOT show a left bias.  The reason I no longer have anything to do with AOL is because they are trying to take over the world, and they manipulate their information to makes things look like THEY want you to see it.

I have seen this with MANY, MANY other polls and statistics done by AOL/Time Warner.

Seriously man, if you're using AOL, you've got problems. Seek technical help ASAP, even if you don't know any younger people besides little Timmy down the street.

I still can't believe that AOL has so much money--and popularity.  What is wrong with people?

Every time my mom tries to disconnect from AOL, they give her a free month of service.  She tries to disconnect every month.  Wink

She must have three years of free dial-up service now; I should ask her when she last paid anything to AOL.

I agree.  I advised her to stick with it, ONLY for that reason.  I told her that as soon as they stop offering the free month...switch.

No, I don't have AOL.  A friend who has AOL sent the poll to me.  I have never had AOL, and agree with all of you.  But, if AOL swings left, then why would McCain be leading by so much?
