Wow. Now that's how you do a comment thread.

 
Bathia_Mapes [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 06:55:48 PM  
An AOL poll? Their respondent base is too small to get valid survey responses.

 
eddyatwork [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 07:46:10 PM  
I still say it's going to be RON PAUL who win.

 
IronTom [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 07:53:12 PM  
Wow, that's something,

I LOLD. They're almost at YouTube comments crazy.

 
IronTom [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 08:08:10 PM  
Interesting, they only let you vote once. That is not too liberal of them.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-07-25 08:21:43 PM  
I didn't know AOL had at least one customer still living in every state. I'd be willing to bet that most of these respondents were on dial-up as well.

The only people I know that still use AOL are retards and old people.

AOL= old people so this poll makes perfect sense

 
Yesdog [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 09:13:17 PM  
So McCain has tied up the idiot vote.

Well, that's something.

 
real shaman [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 09:53:08 PM  
lots of bad excuses.......

it's not limited to aol users....

there have been over 150,000 respondants...

keep making excuses obamaniacs.....

Awwww, that's cute. The LGF crew has finally figured out how to slam-skewer an online poll. Good jorb!

Now drink your prune juice and get to bed. It's almost 7:00, I can't believe you're still up!

Oh, Freepers... .... they grow up so fast!

 
Uakronkid 2008-07-25 09:55:23 PM  
Time to Fark the vote, guys.

 
Tr0mBoNe [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 10:05:35 PM  
Fox has McCain winning 44% to 41% and it could happen if he swings the independents from their current 50/50 split.

 
moralpanic 2008-07-25 10:07:52 PM  
Well yeah, because it's only the seniors that are left on AOL;of course they're going to vote for the old white guy and not the young black guy.

 
Bucky Katt [TotalFark] 2008-07-25 10:09:36 PM  
I thought AOL went out of business a couple of years ago. I stopped getting the weekly CD from them.

 
Fart_Machine 2008-07-25 10:09:58 PM  
Oh yeah. Because polls like this are so accurate and unsusceptable to fraud.

Lots of Americans are spooked that a black man is running for president. They'll be riots man in the city.

Exactly. The broadband users probably only switched because AOL called them up and offered it. These people identify with John McCain. They too are incapable of sending emails and using the most basic functions of the internet.

 
joeycolby 2008-07-25 10:15:28 PM  
I don't know what's more unbelievable, the results of that poll or the fact that somewhere there is a Farker who actually visits AOL.

 
mesohorny 2008-07-25 10:17:58 PM  
make me some tea: The only people I know that still use AOL are retards and old people.

Yeah and that's the majority of voters, Hey don't feel bad guys Ron Paul lost this same straw poll 6 months ago to Mccain. And it was the only online poll he lost!

 
Newbaca 2008-07-25 10:17:59 PM  
There's only two groups that have ever existed on the internet more irrelevant and banal than AOL users. WebTV and Myspace users.

Now that is a reliable source of information. If Fox says it it must be so.

Wow, so you seriously believe that McCain has 30+ points lead on Obama?

And they say we're the kool-aid drinkers!

I came here to say that.

When you want the views of people who are cheap, stupid and/or living too far in the styx for broadband, you simply turn to AOL.

Everyone drinks the kool-aid... just different flavors.

Sad how young people today look at the older generation. Same generation that survived 2 world wars and whatever else.

Go ahead and calculate your carbon footprints and cut yourself while sobbing to Coldplay.


And get off my lawn!

Meh I guess I just get touchy when people dismiss old folks, but I guess that's just me never meeting my grandparents. Then I remember I'm in FARK and kick myself for being a pussy whiner

Their spin can be extreme... but their independent polls are legitimate. They just focus on what they want and talk about things from their side.

Once you figure out how to read through the spin it all gets kinda funny.

 
Falcc 2008-07-25 10:28:05 PM  
I was going to say something witty but this is already well beyond the average AOL user.

We have to remember that the election won't be a popular vote either, but it's going to be about the electoral college.

Yeah, you probably should. No generation is any better than any other when it comes to courage and dealing with hardship. The idea that current people couldn't survive the depression is laughable. We'd whine about it, but so did they. We wouldn't like it, but neither did they. We're generally more accepting of people of different races, religious choices, and lifestyles now than they were, so I think we're even at best. And the next generation will probably be better than us at those things.

Of course, I think a Logan's Run style society would be better off, so maybe I'm a bit biased.

Why don't you go send a spirit crow to curse Obama or something?

A poll conducted by a company that primarily serves idiots and geriatrics shows Captain Pancakes to be winning in every state.

obama will lose the election because people don't have to pretend not to be racist behind the curtain.
