Sorry to repost the below from General Politics, but RP is losing and could use a thousand votes:




The Arizona Republic, Arizona's only statewide newspaper, has a poll every day of the year for some random topic...and today's is "Who is most likely to emerge the GOP candidate for president?" Currently at this much this early in the morning:

Mitt Romney.37.60%
Rick Perry.37.38%
Ron Paul.13.40%
Michelle Bachmann.8.27%
Herman Cain.3.35%
Total Votes: 1343

hxxp://www.azcentral.com/ (EDIT--YOU CAN REFRESH A FEW TIMES AND VOTE MORE THAN ONCE)---- (poll is on right side of page, scroll down a little)

I'm not sure how many hundreds of thousands (over a million?) Arizonans get this paper but crushing Romney and Perry in this poll would be huge.

And Ron Paul supporters get mad when we get called spammers.

Are you serious?

Keep your eyes peeled for polls like this. Lets make them either take the polls down or show yet another poll with Ron winning

It's like subsidies...they're bad but if they're there for everybody, you give yourself an economic disadvantage by not taking them. Other users are voting more than once and they set up the poll to let you vote more than once.....let's vote more than once.



Anyway good job everyone we ended up with 23% of the vote!

Right, they took it down when RP supporters started telling others to spam the poll and vote in it multiple times. I do wonder why they took it down.

No, actually because they post the results in the PHYSICAL newspaper, they had to take their results in by a certain time of the day ---- BEFORE they ended the poll.

It's ridiculous to imply we were the only ones voting multiple times...I was the one who posted the poll and was watching it various hours of the day.....unfortunately when someone messes up and posts polls that allow multiple votes, all you can do is even up the odds by doing what your competitors are doing. If we vote once and other candidate supporters vote more, than we have a disadvantage....like I said in the post right before yours, it's just like subsidies. Go take economics.
