Sodahead - CNBC Cans Debate Poll

I think they want to see us again...

Any serious online poll restricts voting to one per IP address.
Waslter bemoans the fact that Paul’s online supporters came in droves to
vote, yet he does not consider why supporters of the other candidates
did not do the same.

Brandon Smith of Alt-Market has a great commentary piece on the pulled poll, wherein he points out that punishing Ron Paul and his supporters for being highly motivated is asinine:

“What margin of success does CNBC consider “realistic” for a
presidential candidate?” Smith writes. “I mean, is it really necessary
for you to punish Ron Paul for being a popular candidate, or to punish
his supporters for being well organized and showing up for the vote? Do
you not see the half-assed absurdity of your claim that Ron Paul won by
“too much”?”

As we have previously documented,
it seems that a poll is only deemed legitimate by the mainstream media
if Ron Paul doesn’t win it. If Paul is successful, the poll is
automatically considered null and void.

This is to be expected given the fact that there is an admitted media talking point to ignore Ron Paul’s campaign and try and write him off entirely.
