German poll needs some, err, assistance

I am convinced that some of you think the online polls mean something.

Strike 2, -1. These polls are cheap/free advertising. It is called the bandwagon effect. Roughly speaking, thinking a candidate can win or will win is worth some percentage points in the actual vote. So when upwards of 100% of a network's pundits are saying Ron Paul can't win, they are using manipulation to drop his vote totals, lessen coverage, and keep the MIC/MSM/Fed/TPTB safe.

These polls may not be enough help, but Ron Paul's internet dominance is something a lot of us (or at least me) is proud to be a part of. It is hope for the future.

Also, many polls have become news and the treatment of online polls - versus telephone polls which have drawbacks but favor their cable-paying demographic - is often funny as hell. How is it the same network swears up and down through their mouthpieces that "Ron Paul can't win" and then they distort or remove an online poll showing him do just exactly that. Many of these polls had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of votes, far beyond what these relatively small forums could influence.

You might as well go to the parking lot and piss on someone's bumper sticker. It isn't likely to get a vote, but it doesn't hurt to show your support for liberty.
