Please DU this PBS poll on whether Palin is qualified to be VP
PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes.

The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states.

Here's the link:

The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers think Sarah Palin is qualified.

Thanks.

2. Jesus...not again.
This poll is broken. It's permanently stuck at 49/49 and has been for almost a week.

5. Probably because there must be tens of millions of votes on both sides
At least.

16. Meh...
Edited on Sat Oct-11-08 08:55 PM by jeff30997
Do you think Sarah Palin is qualified to serve as Vice President of the United States?

Yes 49%
No 49%
Not Sure 0%

My bet is it won't nudge a bit one way or the other.

21. Hey bobd0
I fell victim to this poll a week ago, too, and made the mistake of posting it here. It is an old poll that is either broken or fixed to read 49% for and against. Like you, I learned the hard way. Thanks for the effort, and keep up the good fight.

:hi:

22. There really should be some DU time-out corner for people who insist on reposting this
worn out poll story.
