How come none of the polls ask about Cobb or Badnarik?

[I_like_chicken]

The polls always include Nader, even though hes only going to be on ballots in about 20 states. Cobb and Badnarik are gonna be on ballots in all 50 states, so aren't they gonna be more of a factor than Nader? I guess its just more evidence that our media is completely biased.

1. Because the media wears blinders

They've sunk to the level of their dumbest viewers, instead of the other way around. They think Nader is the real factor, though I have yet to hear of anyone who actually plans on voting for him. Besides, Nader is off the ballot in many states.

Cobb is a story because Nader ran as the Green candidate in 2000. Badnarik is getting lots of protest votes from angry Republicans who won't vote for Bush, but can't bring themselves to vote for Kerry.

I'd like to hear the Badnarik/Libertarian angle. They are actively courting disenfranchised Republicans (or as active as the Libertarians really are), and I know of some Republicans who plan on voting for him.

I'd also like to hear about the Constitution Party (ick!). Are they getting the anti-Bush crowd?

2. David Cobb has a low profile, but he's a good guy.

I stood out in front of a poll with him for several hours. I was campaigning for my state rep, he was running for state office.

He is real smart, has a lot of excellent fundamental ideas.

Wish the race was between Cobb and Kucinich! (okay, I know, I'm delirious)
