What's the damn point? Because I'm seriously not seeing it.

2. So we're letting freepers dictate our activities now?
I just think that maybe, just maybe, there are more productive things we could do as a community. :P

3. Actually - least with respect to AOL
Obama has "won" a few recently. (And/or Palin has lost).

Not regularly - but SOME.

4. It's still AOL - browser for the horribly inept.
I'm happy to hear it, but still, why bother?

5. Demoralize the enemy?
That is my guess.

7. Anybody who panics over an online poll isn't worth demoralizing.

6. Why waste your time with any online poll?
That's what I've always said.

No one cares what the results are, and everybody knows that partisans try to skewer them.

I think I'd rather watch the Palin/Couric interview again than waste my time voting in some poll.

12. If it were one on one, yeah, not fair either...
But collective fucking is a laugh riot!

I'm preparing my "It's God's will that McCain lost this election" post to pass on to Freeperville;)
