the Gallup treachery
Seeing that Obama's poll numbers are indicating a landslide victory, it seems that the propaganda machine at Gallup has decided to play some dirty tricks.

how do they determine 'likely voters' this early in the campaign. Easy, here's the script:

- are you a registered Democrat or Republican?

- Democrat? click - not likely to vote or vote will be suppressed anyway

- Republican?
Great- you wonderful patriot
Will you be voting for the great John Mccain, who single handedly beat the Germans in World War 1 and 2? Are you thinking of voting for him? Do you know who he is?

If answer is 'yes' to any of these questions, this person is goin to vote for Mccain.


Gallup - another organization that is tainted and corrupt.

2. I agree.
It seems they're trying their best to ensure the figures are close, so that when the election is stolen (again), the RW will be able to say, "Stolen? What are you talking about! He's been ahead the WHOLE TIME!"

3. Zogby used to be quoted by Limbaugh a lot,
then "9/11" happened, Righties got on this "anti-Muslim" kick, and Zogby began "leaning center". (Zogby is of Arab descent.)
