anyone that trusts AOL and its members to provide a scientific approach to measuring the feelings of Americans...should be shot.

AOL users are too dumb to find a real internet provider.

That bulky interface and all those worthless features - crap.

You've already made it evident you do not wish to debate the subject.
And I will respect that desire with the above exeption

Here is the homepage for your...source
http://www.hermes-press.com/index.html

Just by scanning it over and its headlines its quite easy to see its Not exactly what anyone can call an independant or unbiased analysis

Soon as I saw this The entire site lost any kind of claim to credibility Whatsoever IMO

In Fact with things like this there it positively reeks of paranoia and radicalism "Declaring himself dictator"?

C'mon now
Comming from you it kinda dissapoints me

aol sucks... I wouldn't put much store in any "poll" they had but 245,000 votes does how a trend in at least aol subscribers... Myu personal guess woulda been that any aol poll woulda went the other way they are generally young and liberal and well.... kinda dumb.

I hope they and nuke are right tho. I hope it is at least a landslide enough that the lawyers stay out of it. If there is a close election and kerrie wins then so be it.. I and the republicans will lick our wounds and wait till next time and hope we don't lose too many rights or supreme court judges in the meantime..

if it is close and Bush wins it will be another democracy destroying cry baby democrat crap fest. It will show the worst there is of America like last time. I will be glad to see recounts in states that have provisions for automatic recounts for ONE time only and according to their rules.

If Bush wins and then kerries lawyers loophole and false count kerrie in...

I will not recognize kerrie as my president. I beleive that a lot of people will come to this conclussion if it is a trial and personal injury freak fest.

I believe that the above statement is more serious than a lot of you who believe in "winning at any cost" and "the end justifies the means" can even guess at. I believe that such an election would be the beggining of the end for a lot of Americans.

Yes, this truly is shaping up to be a cluster**** of spectacularly tardrific proportions.

Fantastic.

One nice thing though, they have hot chocolate at work today.

One thing you have to remember about AOL also is you can have up to 7 different screen names. And each screen name can vote in these things. So alot of those votes Im sure are the same people just switching screen names and voting again

I have Cable but keep AOL because I prefer their Email system to anything else I've seen and I HATE Outlook Express and dont like the way my ISP has mail set up either.

Plus it has some stuff that my youngest (8 year old) can access with ease

All my Surfing and anything else internet related though I do by way of Firefox as AOL's browser blows chunks

Good points, Drediock. AOL e-mail is excellent as is its spam screening and parental controls. No sense searching in AOL when can search directly via cable access, but it can be convenient when multitasking on AOL.

I wonder how many people actually bother to vote more than once with the other six screen names? That could introduce a huge error into any poll.

That's another good reason to be skeptical of all polls. They're just indicators of what might happen. Some people gravitate toward jumping on bandwagons while others tend to jump off.

Whether it's this AOL poll or other indications I don't know, but to me it looks as if Bush will win by a large enough margin that there won't be any doubts about this election.

halo.... I hope that is the case... that either Bush wins by a large enough amount that the dems give it up as hopless to try to steal the election or....

if kerrie wins it will be OK too since I trust the republicans to not want to destroy the country with such dangerous nonsense even if it is close.

Only good thing about Bush getting re-elected is that he will get to live through the consequences of all the wreckless and wrong decissions he has made over the last 4 years.

Though of course he still can't even admit he has made a single mistake.

Hmmm... According to AOL, Kerry won't even win California.

According to this board, AOL users are idiots.

soo... One can assume that the idiots in California are Republican.

Hard to imagine anything more idiotic than summarily labeling as idiots the 20 million or so members of the largest internet on-line service.
