  • 1.  Is Palin qualified? - take 2 seconds for poll

    Posted 09-26-2008 12:41
    Hi all,


    The PBS show "Now" (in the NY area, on Friday nights at 8:30) is
    conducting an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified.
    Apparently the Republicans knew about this in advance and are flooding
    the voting with YES votes.

    I know -- it's only a poll. But it will be reported on PBS, picked up by
    mainstream media and can influence undecided voters in swing states.

    Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds.

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

    2) Then send this to every single voter you know, regardless of party
    affiliation, and urge them to vote and pass it on.

    Cheers,
    David

    David,

    I wonder why this urgency to advertise this poll on the GDO listserv? Why is Sarah Palin more or less important than Fatemeh Javadi for example?

    Regards,
    Jawad

    Jawad,
    Appreciate your asking your question and the opportunity to respond - To anyone who knows and is affected by an election for Fatemeh Javadi  and any possible bias, you should consider posting a similar request. It would be interesting to see how many people are affected versus those affected by the US election.
