Some Poll Help Please

[John of Des Moines]

The link below brings you to the WHO-TV Channel 13 Des Moines Iowa pick a president / vice president "Dream Team" poll. Unbelievably the John Cox / Tom Tancredo dream team is winning with 41% followed by Huckabee / Romney at 10% and followed by Paul / Gravel following with 6%. After voting the results page shows that Paul / with any other candidate pulls in a total of 20%.

Naturally, a Paul / Gravel ticket isn't my dream team (it's Paul and Sherry Jackson) but I think we can collectively swallow hard and vote for Paul / Gravel dream team.
You're only allowed to vote once unless your browser erases it's cookies each time, so vote accordingly.

Thanks,
John of Des Moines

My guess is the Cox/Tancredo people have been spamming that poll. Cox/Tancredo has like 40%, yet there is only one other vote in the entire poll for any other ticket with Cox at the top.....

Yeah, I noticed that too. I bet Cox had some people at his potato chip factory spam the poll.

Voted. I bet you could find the spammers by finding cox forums.

[Hurricane Bruiser]

I voted Paul/Cox just because Cox seemed like an honest guy and I liked his speech in Iowa at the straw poll. Sounded a bit lik RP

[Richard in Austin]

voted.

Isn't gravel a socialist?

[JosephTheLibertarian]

John Cox / Tom Tancredo?? LOL That would be "the team" if you want to lose the 2008 election!

If you add all the percentage points for Ron Paul he comes in 2nd with 22%. But it's a dumb concept for a poll and accomplishes nothing.

[Michael Ingram]

who should we vote for?

[John of Des Moines]

Vote Paul / Gravel since it's on the top of the Paul and whoever list.

[Trassin]

I'm voting for Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. Of course I'm an indipendant so I could care less about party lines.

[QWE]

Gravel is the left version of Ron Paul, I like him. He's probably my second favorite candidate. Also, a lot of issues RP and Gravel differ on, I'm a little iffy about. But in general I'd say I agree with Paul 90% and Gravel 80%....

The Ron Paul vote is being split. We need to pick one team and go with it.

[bbachtung]

They wouldn't let me create a team that consisted of Ron Paul / Ron Paul -- damned MSM.

Definitely not John. We should vote for who we want to vote for. Paul/Gravel is a horrible combo. Gravel is a socialist and has discusssed in a positive light a world global warming tax. He may be a decent guy, but he is not in line with RP and RP would never pick him as a running mate. I am starting, if not on there, a RP/Mark Sanford combo.

I am not voting 'collectively' with you.

Okay, split the RP vote. My point is to get Paul with any other candidate in the top position. If it was Paul / Hilary then I'd vote that dream team. Who cares who the vp position goes to, the thrust of our effort should be to get Dr. Paul into first place. To nit-pick "oh this vp candidate is better then this other one is just dividing the RP vote. I don't think Paul will be obligated to pick Gravel.
