  1. Be Serious ... by c.ecker · · Score: 0, Flamebait · on LP files Suit To Stop State Funding Of 3rd Debate

    Some candidates SHOULD BE REMOVED from the main political process.

    The last thing I want to see on my TV is Leonard Peltier/Barry Bachrach, David Cobb/Pat LaMarche, or Michael Badnarik/Richard Campagna. Not to mention the fairly long list of other wackos 'running' for POTUS. http://www.us-election.com/index.php

  2. Iraqi results by j1m+5n0w · · Score: 1 · on Mock World Vote
    For Iraq it's now sitting at 43 Bush to 26 Kerry. Many of the asian countries show a lead for Bush, but this may be because most asians have never heard of Kerry, or Nader, or Badnarik. A large proportion of the asian votes are registered from India, which is leaning strongly towards Kerry.

    This would be far more informative if they used approval voting: for each candidate, do you approve or disapprove? Maybe there should be a no opinion option as well. It would be nice to see each candidate's approval rating by region independent of the other candidates who might be running.

    I also wonder how many respondents in Iraq are really American military personnel or contractors (or ballot stuffers who don't really live in Iraq). It is possible that Bush is popular with a few of the less vocal non-AK47-weilding demographic of Iraq.

    Here are the results of an actual (controversial) poll of iraqis. One interesting result:

    Looking back, more Iraqis think the invasion was right than wrong, although 41% felt that the invasion "humiliated Iraq".

    And look how many people from the Vatican have already voted!

  5. Bush not ahead by alatesystems · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Mock World Vote

    According to the results at the current moment, bush only has 20%, while Kerry has 72%. I guess the slashdotting brought in the liberal(progressive) crowd to the site.

    I'm voting for Badnarik and the Libertarian Party.

  6. according to the site right now.... by whiteSanjuro · · Score: 0 · on Mock World Vote

    this is the deal...
    BUSH:
    870 Votes
    20%
    KERRY:
    3,154 Votes
    72%

    how does this match the story text of "Kerry leads on the site overwhelmingly, while Bush is ahead in the U.S."?
