I received an email from my meetup group:
I found this on the Yahoo.com site. If you look nationally, it gives you the same thing we see in the corporate media. If you look state by state, however, it tells a very different picture. Look at all the states that are NOT shaded, meaning the states the media has not been trying to influence.

The email contained a link and I went to the Yahoo Political dashboard:
http://news.yahoo.com/election/2008...

on the "National" screen Ron Paul is not listed with the "Leaders" but rather on the "Other Candidates" option but if you look on the "State" screen, look at each state, Ron Paul is number one or two in EVERY state so I wonder how does YAHOO determine which candidate is a leader? Seems to me the Leader should be the candidate that is number one in majority of the states in their own damn poll!


I tried to comment Yahoo to inform them of this but I had to register in order to make a comment or leave feedback. I refuse to register with Yahoo for obvious reasons.

Is there anybody who is a Yahoo user who wants to send them feedback and ask them: how does YAHOO determine which candidate is a leader? Seems to me the Leader should be the candidate that is number one in majority of the states in their own damn poll!
 
It's because he's polling well on the internet. I suspect their "national" ranking is comprised of the various "scientific" polls used by the MSM and they are only listing the "Y! Buzz" as a comparison.

It's the same ol', same ol'.
