Hi len, Re: Polls do not look so good for Bradbury. There's polls, and then there's polls. In the past few days, Oregon citizens have made a difference. The Senator Ron Wyden office has announced that his email, mail and calls have been running 30:1 in opposition to Bush's obscene scheme to steal the Iraqi oil. Wyden has just come out in opposition to the war powers resolution for the Crawford Cowboy. Polls and polling are more propaganda than reality. There is a pattern of deceit that is all too apparent these days. Here's an example of how polls can be and are being rigged by "spooks": newmassmedia.com Quote: If the CIA is hacking a tiny religious site to skew poll results the way they want, what sort of hacking is going on with the ubiquitous polls that are trumpeted nightly on the mainstream, corporate, status quo "news" networks? " Not only can we have hacking, but we also are subject to the blatant manipulation of polling data, where devious operations like CNN will announce a recent 60% approval rating for the war with Iraq, but utterly fail to mention that this was conditioned by having Bush submit to the full authority of the United Nations sanctions regime and the agreement of the U.S. Congress. What CNN did in that instance was lie by the omission of material facts regarding their poll. What Joe Stalin said about voting applies equally to polls: "It doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes."
