Always love the credibility of online polls, particularly those that actually *encourage* you to vote multiple times. Gives all the credibility of voting results coming out of Cook County, Illinois, or Kanawha County, West Virginia! :-(

Marketing vs Democratic elections...not the same thing. Everything is fair game when marketing! I say vote early and often and support the community!

I like my polls honest. I don't participate in totally worthless garbage like this. Oh wait, I participate in BA. ;-)

I have a strong academic background in survey research, and this type of sham poll grates against my nerves. I try to avoid and/or ignore them whenever possible. Even BA limits votes to one per poster in its polls. Bottom line: any online poll that doesn't meet at least the mediocre standards of BA is probably best ignored as the results tell you absolutely nothing. Those who pretend they do are not marketers but charlatans.
