GOP doesn't like its own VP poll results. So it changes them
Earlier today, on the Washington Post site, someone mentioned that the GOP was conducting an online poll asking who would make a better VP: Biden or Palin.
I voted for Biden and, after I did, the poll results to that point were displayed. 93% had selected Biden and 7% had selected Palin.
These online polls are unscientific, of course, but I went back to check just a few minutes ago and the numbers were the same for the poll (which had closed at 5pm):
93% Biden
7 % Palin.
So, I sent the link to a friend. And, in just the last few minutes, the results have been changed. They now read:
100% Palin
0% Biden
This is a hoot. Someone must have thought it would be a great idea to do this poll this morning -- before the last half dozen Palin scandals came to light. And now, they don't like the results.

Horrible but not surprising, unfortunately.

Actually, when the poll closed, it was 6% Palin and 94% Biden. They must have REALLY hated that.

I voted, too, since it would be my only chance to cast a ballot in this U.S. presidential race.
Now I know how Michigan and Florida felt.
