Help: VOTING and POLLING INACCURACIES by the Readers Digest
I am passing this on:

VOTING and POLLING INACCURACIES by the Readers Digest

Please send in your letters, the form for feedback is the second link below. The first link has only 6 candidates represented, three Dems and three Repubs. This will only take a few minutes.

VOTING and POLLING INACCURACIES

Here is what I wrote:
This is not an accurate poll as you do not have all of the candidates from both sides of the aisle. Represent the accurate choices by representing ALL of the candidates so people can make fair and accurate choices in this poll. Please know that this is being blasted out in cyberspace and you are going to get quite a response. People are sick and tired of the media forcing us to know about only 2 or 3 choices. I am very disappointed in your organization. If this isn't repaired online I will boycott your magazine and will encourage others to do the same.

1. Readers Digest has been paleoconservative Kool Aid for decades.
Hell, just LOOK at their (alleged) "Panel Of Experts"!

Richard Brookhiser, biographer and historian;
Mickey Edwards, former Republican Congressman, Oklahoma;
Les Francis, deputy chief of staff, Carter White House;
Thomas Mann, senior fellow, Brookings Institution;
Norman Ornstein, resident scholar, American Enterprise Institute;
John J. Pitney, political scientist, Claremont College;
Shirley Anne Warshaw, political scientist, Gettysburg College;
Michael Cromartie, vice president, Ethics and Public Policy Center;
Richard Reeves, Presidential Biographer.
