Pajamas Media reports:
The fourth week of the PAJAMAS MEDIA PRESIDENTIAL STRAW POLL has officially begun. Over 42,000 votes were cast in the first three weeks. You can now vote in the third week in both parties: Click to open the voting booth at top of center column of PJM’s front page. You can vote weekly for candidates in both parties —we encourage you to vote in both.
IMPORTANT ALERT: The perspicacious PJM tech staff has detected significant spamming in the third week of the poll and isolated the cheaters. In some cases they voted hundreds of times from the same IP for the same candidate. No, we are not taking these people to the woodshed (or even naming their names), but we are listing the locations of the miscreants and deducting their votes accordingly.Without help from spammers, Rudy Giuliani (32%) and Bill Richardson (37.6%) were easy winners on the Republican and Democratic sides respectively.
Especially Ron Paul, Obama and Romney seem to receive some, umh, spam support.
It is interesting to see where this goes. Richardson is an experienced candidate (as some commenters pointed out), but he doesn’t seem to be leading in the polls… except for the one at PJM.
Is the poll at PJM therefore respresentative of the American people? Probably not, but it is interesting to follow nonetheless.
