1. that's what i (don't) like about CNN
you can vote early and often. MSNBC won't let you do multiple votes, but CNN's site will allow it. I must have voted 5 times there already

3. Thanks for the tip
I'll vote again. One of our local news stations is the same. I look up at the results on the 10 oclock news and say - whoaa - where did that come from. Very slipshod.

5. Yep that's part of the plan
The rightwing radio talkshows (99% AM radio) are filled with hosts bitching about how the "media" is only telling the negatives in Iraq.

I have talked with CONservatives who say we aren't getting the true, positive story. Looks like they are gearing up to blame the media, just like during Vietnam.

7. Uh oh. Down to 46% no now.
This is the only story that I don't believe the media has overplayed. The public needs this info drummed into their heads.
