1. That is so cool!!!

I'm going to print this out for my partner's father... he just loves the races! And, I've almost got him switched over to the other side. This might be thing to do it. :)

2. A poll among gamblers is just going to give you the views of gamblers.

Now if it was a wager, where the gamblers put down money, you would have an interesting phenomenon, similar to the Neonazicons' attempted idea to have people wager on the time and place of the next terrorist attack.

5. Most gamblers take all their wagers seriously...

... even if it's not "for real."

6. Call me naive but I think those numbers are closer...............

to the reality come election time.
I refuse to go along with the idea that the american public is as gullible as we are led to believe.

8. Yes, and everyone I talk to agrees with you....

Granted I'm in Canada and there is huge hate-on for bush here, but still....Americans are going to start paying attention soon.

When they do, it's over for shrub.

9. It's funny. Even bush supporters I know don't................

have the fire in them anymore. The only real support he has is the Rabid Right wing and that's why he is constantly playing to them.
Deep down they all know the guy comes up short. Just embarrased to admit it.

7. Anyone can vote on this poll, I just did.

So why couldn't this poll be "freeped"? I find it about as indicative as any other internet poll......not at all.
