Clinton wins on-line poll in Huntsville, AL - a serious shock!
This was an on-line poll conducted by "WDRM-FM" in Decatur/Huntsville. It is a country station and completely rw/redneck.

I heard two of the DJs on the morning news today saying that they were surprised that Clinton had won, over all, beating not only the other Democrats, but all of the Republicans, too. The Democrats polled higher than the Republicans as a group. They did not say who came in second. I went to their (shutter) website, but could not find any on-line polls.

Just reporting what I heard.

Here is the link to the website, if anyone else can find the poll, good luck! http://www.wdrm.com/

2. Well, he didn't win this one. And I would not have been surprised
if he had won this one. It was on a rw, country station and they tend to lean toward Paulishness...

7. you do know that you can vote as many times as you want in online polls, don't you?
How do think Stephen Colbert almost had a bridge in Hungary named after him?

8. Well, you have to be registered on the site to vote on-line, so I guess
I thought that might be controlled, but just ignore this if it is too silly for you. Where I live, and on this particular RW station, it struck me as markedly unusual...

9. all it takes to register is an email address
Anyone with a domain can create an infinite number of email addresses.

If this is a RW leaning area, I would suggest that most of Hillary's votes came from a handful of people with voting-bots.

5. I guess the point was that this was a fairly contained poll, taken by
listeners of this RW, southern country music radio station. I don't think that it was "DUed" or anything. It just struck me as odd that Democrats would win on such a station and that a woman would win on such a station.

Man, every body gets the shits when anything might remotely favor one candidate over another. I don't support Clinton or Obama, so I could care less. I was just remarking over the oddity of Clinton winning an RW poll...Jeeez...

4. And Obama once won an Online poll here between the top three
That doesnt mean this board isnt incredibly pro-Edwards.

6. If you don't get the significance of a Democrat winning a poll like this
on a station like this, in a place like this, then you just don't get it. I wasn't giving it more importance than it merited, but if you don't get it, then you just don't get it...
