Please vote in the "Tai-Wiki-Widbi" political poll

The poll is in the sidebar to the right. After you vote you will see the results tabulated so far. I believe the system is set up to prevent anyone from voting multiple times.

If you don't care to participate in the poll, or you've already voted and want to check an update of how the poll is trending, just click the "show results" button.

You're welcome (and encouraged) to offer comments in the comment section of this post, which I will try to keep as a sticky at the top of the column for the next two days.

    My "statistics" are not meant to be valid or predictive. I simply thought it would be fun to see what kind of distribution of opinion there is among TYWKIWDBI visitors. I have tended to be hard on McCain/Palin, and may have driven away some supporters (except for I think three stalwarts who visit here often).

    I opened up the "voting" to non-U.S. residents because the latest Google Analytic statistics show that this blog has visitors from 118 countries and they constitute about 1/3 of all visitors. I know data from several international polls suggest non-U.S. people favor Obama over McCain and I'm curious to know whether it is the same for people coming here.

    I'm a left-leaning centrist and am voting McCain/Palin; Obama's too far left for me. I've already decided how I will vote on every issue on my ballot. It turns out that I'm voting for exactly as many Democrats as Republicans.

    According to legend, if the Redskins win their homegame, the party with the highest popular vote in the last election wins. The Steelers beat the Redskins, therefore, Obama will win.

    I think I must be one of the three stalwarts. Stan - don't worry about being hard on McCain/Palin. I'm the same way on my own blog about Obama. It's discourse like ours that lets us get past things like campaign speeches and promises and look at issues and facts. I've enjoyed reading your blog.

    Sorry, Stan. Missed the balloting. The week has not been uneventful.
    You can imagine where I might have voted.
