31. So Rahm Gets No Credit FOR The Ad? But Gets Reamed If It Gets Replaced?
How do you know it wasn't rotated out?

It's been up for TWO WEEKS.

3. I'm sure it's some kind of glitch.
If it was rigged they'd have it show something like 97% to 3% or something similar.

10. I was kind of thinking this too, however it always seems that when errors
occur it is in favor of the necons. I wonder if this poll will stay this way through the Friday evening news cycle?

11. See post #9
After intervals of time, I believe it is fifteen minutes, they update the number of respondents to the poll.

They are still not showing any number of respondents to the poll.

5. If someone voted yes, they would think it was accurate!!
You only see what's going on if you vote no. There are probably a lot of freeps feeling mighty pleased with themselves... :eyes:

If it were a glitch, why didn't they pull the poll when they began getting letters? Several of us wrote, and I believe that we were all respectful and gave them the benifit of the doubt.

An hour later the poll is exactly the same, showing no number of respondents.

12. Maybe because it's after normal work hours
and they haven't had the chance to fix it yet. Believe me, I'm not defending them but it just seems like they would fake it in a much more believable way instead of using such obviously bogus numbers.

13. They always show the number of respondents.
So it's odd that this one doesn't. It's not accepting any votes, yet it automatically reads 100% yes.

15. was this respectful?
Did you know your poll "Is the DCCC "America Needs a New Direction" video offensive?" is not working? I will assume it's a glitch, it is not registering the votes or voters properly. Reminds me of the elections in this country.


i tried to be....

26. Hoot! I think that you were respectful
You gave them the benifit of the doubt and merely informed them that their poll was not functioning properly. Your last statement was nutritious food for thought;)

Good job! :thumbsup:

14. If they read the results on the air, it will mean it was rigged on purpose
Common sense would tell them NO subject will get a 100% - one way or the other.

23. Maybe CNN has closed for the weekend and it's all on auto pilot
But if somebody could reach the custodian, after they are finished taking the trash out, they might be able to reboot it.:shrug:

22. C'mon- if they were that determined to push this GOP propaganda on
this issue, they wouldn't have asked the question to begin with. This is obviously a technical glitch.

29. It could be the work of an individual nutjob techie working at CNN
I don't think CNN the media entity would do this deliberately. But an employee of the CNN.com website might.

27. Jeez, how many people on DU have used some form of coding language?
Its a glitch, pure and simple. Someone will get around to fixing it eventually. Also, remember its a straw poll anyway... not scientific.

30. There's no "coding." Think about how easy it is to post a poll on DU.
The software is modular and off-the-shelf. You'd have to work at putting a glitch in it.

28. How could it be a glitch?
If it was messed up and no one could vote, wouldn't it be stuck at 0% for both questions?
