"Turn off send referrer or put the address manually in your address bar. If you click the link directly, there is a good chance your vote for Ron Paul won't count. If they see a bunch of votes refered by one website they likely will assume spam if you vote for Paul. Better yet, try to find a link directly off of AOL's website somwhere that links into the poll and go in that way.
Normally, I wouldn't say anything. But, it's looking like AOL is specifically targeting RP and ignoring the same activity from Huckabee poll flooders."
I don't think it was his intention to show how to"spam" votes but just that they seem to be letting EVERYONE else spam.
Altho this is, of course, a meaningless poll we know that they will prop up the first poll that we don't win...expecially if it matches the national polls.
Yes, we do have a lot in front of us and should focus our attention on the primaries but I also don't think that we should let-up on the same marketing functions that have brought us this far...and that is the Blimp and the appearence of winning ALL on-line polls.

The question reads "Who do you think is going to win?". Who cares who people think is going to win. I've been a hard core Ron Paul supporter for several months but until recently I had thought that he would lose. I voted in another poll like this a few months ago and I picked Rudy to win despite the fact that I was planning on voting for Paul.

Yes the aol poll has been reset as in tampered with, there is no way THAT many people have magically started voting for lets say Huckaflea this weekend a holiday weekend when the poll has been up for a week already.
from now and all polls will be mute..... I just hope that the correct numbers are added...... Remember Gore having minus numbers in Fl.... The more of us who can go to Iowa and witness the count the better I will feel..... I don't care about the polls and you shouldn't..... have faith, hope and smile on the 7th........

makes me so angry. I feel lost in this world, with all of this corruption. I just wish that we could have an honest vote and elect this honest man. The world would be SO much happier.
AOL is not running the actual vote, so don't sweat it. If Huckabee suddenly pipes up and says "this proves my message is reaching the American voter"... well, I wouldn't be surprised.

Something isn't right with this poll.
Normally Ron Paul comments dominate the messages left about the article or piece. Very few Ron Paul comments (although one says Paul followers should be exterminated).
Also, if you paginate through the messages they repeat each other.

Ron Paul wins all online polling. Even ones that only allow a user to vote only once. Why is it different for this online poll?

You have to click the button ABOVE Ron Paul's name, if you click below it goes to Mitt Romney. Very misleading.

Everybody investigate please:
Three anomalies so far:
1) Repeating user comments if you paginate.
2) Percentages not changing even after thousands of votes
3) Different results than any other online poll.
Anybody notice any more anomalies?
So their other scientific poll isn't good enough
because Ron Paul is winning all over, particularly in IA and NH.
