More politics from moi. I'm OCD on this election.

Okay "my friends" <wink>...here's a call to action:

PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Why bother asking, you might wonder? Yes, I know, but I am, unfortunately, serious. Read on.

Rumor has it that the Republicans knew about this PBS poll in advance <gee, is this possible?> and are flooding the voting with YES votes.

And, um, while I might normally be dis-inclined to believe such a "flooding" accusation as just being so much hype and hyperbole...I just put in my response and currently 49% are saying YES to Palin being qualified. For the role of Vice-President. Of the United States of America.

Clearly, then, I must conclude that some flooding is probably actually occuring. There's just no other logical explanation other than, perhaps, hacking.

I beg of you -- flood back!!

The poll will be reported on PBS and then, of course, picked up by mainstream media. The worry is that it could influence undecided voters in swing states. <can the undecided really be this unclear about who to vote for at this stage of the game? its hard to believe...but then again...they are still...undecided! or are they? i'm starting entertain conspiracy theories. are they holding out for gifts? a check? a forgiven mortgage? what's really going on here? but i digress...>

If you, like myself, don't in fact believe Palin to be qualified to act as the Vice-President of the United States of America <gheesh, just saying that in my head gives me the shivers), please do two things.

The time commitment here is less than 20 seconds. Truly.

Please:

1) Click on the link and vote yourself! Here you go: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html.

2) Send this to every single Obama-Biden voter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.

Go! Go! Go!

I actually just found some interesting back history of how the poll was initially allowing for multiple votes, so it really has been about flooding. Now, though, each IP address can only vote once, so at this point its all about mobilization. Mobilize!
