Well they usually run these polls for about 3 days so its possible we could get a lot more NO votes if this poll gets spread around to other forums, or if people vote on multiple computers.

Where was this vote count at during the election. Have watched a little TV and shut it off tired of watching all these idiots proclaiming how happy they is!
Iam going to celebrate the inaguration by going out and buying a new gun and some ammo!

Obama got 52% of the popular vote. That means 48% voted against him, but wait, there's more. At least 40% of eligible voters didn't actually vote. That is, they didn't care enough, one way or another, to get down to the polling place, or to do early voting, to absentee ballot, or otherwise cast their ballot. That means that only about 31% of the potential voters in this country both cared enough about the outcome to vote at all and preferred Obama to available alternatives. Thus, we would expect that 69% of the population would not be excited by Obama's inauguration.

Oh, and the above numbers assume 1 vote = 1 eligible person. No multiple registrations for the same person, no hordes of zombies, just every vote being entirely legit.

Two words: ACORN Gary

BTW, the reason why Obama managed to win NWI yet this poll reflects otherwise? The Gary masses don't bother to read the news.

 

[henktermaat]

NO way, Jo-Se

 

[haldir]

You know this could cause civil unrest in Gary if word gets out he lost this poll.
