#1 AstroTurfing? I don't doubt that this goes on. Otherwise how would the polls be all over the board but mostly favoring The One. As I have said, BO and his campaigners, manipulators, ACORN, collection of community organizers, well-heeled Hollywood types, etc. will do ANTHING to get elected. Suppose all this is true, there will be hell to pay down the road. Just remember what goes around comes around. Payback is always a bitch.

#2 Whether the report is true or not, we've certainly had our share of "I'm a McCain supporter who's voting for Obama" ~~lying assholes~~ clowns here.

#3 "Found this via Jawa Report; don't know if it's for real or not, but I'm thinking it is."

I'm thinking that at least part of it could be confirmed: "There is no...true grant park construction going on. "
anybody in the area could do a drive by and confirm or refute this statement.

i hope its true, and that the 'sheeple' aren't worn down. please vote!

#4 I think that they aren't as effective as they think they are. They do drive us crazy and they do create a sheeple effect, that I don't doubt. 3% sounds about right. But in the end, I think the opinions they change most are the ones of the people least likely to show up and vote.

I don't follow sports. So if you told me that the Red Sox were the best team in the universe and that they won the world series, I just might believe you. And if I was standing around the water cooler trying to sound important, I might say, "how 'bout them red socks". But, obviously, I'm not going to buy tickets and I probably won't tune in. Sooo... that's my point. In the end, I only end up annoying those who can't believe I'm THAT stupid.
