Ron Paul 2008: Rigged Poll Calls Serve To Maginalize/Eliminate Ron Paul

Doug Hansen to ronpaul-48

I just got an automated poll call which didn't specify where it came from.  Had a very strange result.  Not positive of the order of 2 - 5 but McCain was #1 Paul
#6 and Tancredo #7

If the Republican Primary were held today who would you vote for?

1. John McCain
2. Mike Huckabee
3. Mitt Romney
4. Rudy Giuliani
5. Fred Thompson
6. Ron Paul
7. Tom Tancredo

Of course I select #6.

Then the message repeats as if I never responded and not made choice, however, the list changed this time.

If the Republican Primary were held today who would you vote for?

1. John McCain
2. Mike Hucakabee
3. Mitt Romney
4. Rudy Giuliani
5. Fred Thompson
6. Some Other Candidate

So if you select Ron Paul as your choice then it doesn't count and you have to be given a second set of choices that does not include him. That way when we complain to others about the "rigged" poll they will say he WAS on the list when they got the call and we are just full of it.  Very sneaky!!

Subject: [ronpaul-48] I just took Channel 8 poll...no RP option!

I just got an automated poll call from News Channel 8 in which I was asked (I answered I was registered Republican) which candidate I was going to vote for in the primary. 

Choices:

1. Fred Thompson
2. Mike Huckabee
3. John McCain
4. Benito Giuliani
5. Mitt Romney
6. "Some other Republican"

Let's make some noise, shall we?  Maybe I'll wait till later in the day before emailing them that I am supporting the candidate who raised $7 million today.

How can entity pretending to cover news still ignore Ron Paul.  Someone clearly breaking through and standing out from business as usual is news, right?

Unreal.
