be watching the numbers as more place their vote.
But so far 27,852 votes shows a trend and is fair amount of people which is a far larger amount than the normal polling outfits use.

At least the Fertik blog entry made me think that way. I will keep checking the numbers; it is interesting.

I think he’s like an avalanche at this point - there is no way that I can see that they’ll stop his forward motion.

I just find it funny that they keep saying “a socialist can’t win” when they used to say Obama couldn’t win because he was black, had a Muslim name, etc. Yet here he is, just like Obama was, a surprise Hillary’s team wasn’t counting on.

not just subscribers, and set out this kind of poll to each person's email, why wouldn't this have a clearer impact. If you received thousands and thousands of returned emails from verifiable email accounts, who needs MSM unverifiable propaganda polls.

Proposed random SAMPLES of 500 will became outdated when you receive huge numbers of email responses.

Unverifiable polls with no oversight are not scientific, they are estimates and guesses at best.
