If you want to game the system, the smart thing to do is not make the results improbable in the extreme. In their enthusiasm to create these fake islands of support, they overplayed their hands and the polls ended up getting shut down or discounted. Had they just gamed the things a LITTLE, it wouldn't have become so patently obvious what they were doing.

Anyone watching that debate was left with a clear impression as to which woman was prepared to be President--and that would be the only woman on the stage!
