An AOL poll? Their respondent base is too small to get valid survey responses.

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.

Fox has McCain winning 44% to 41% and it could happen if he swings the independents from their current 50/50 split.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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