It’s actually kind of sad seeing Dennis Kucinich stooping so low as to bamboozle his devoted followers. I suppose there are many reasons to love Dennis Kucinich. And yet poll leader is really not one of them. Admittedly he has consistently outpolled Mike Gravel. But I’m pretty sure he hasn’t outpolled any of the other Democrats in the race. Nor should we forgot that that tally includes public support powerhouses like Sens. Dodd and Biden. And yet in the last few days we’ve started getting a steady stream of emails from Kucinich supporters asking why we don’t publish the polls where Kucinich is in the lead. In fact, one reader said that all the polls she’s seen have Dennis in the lead and we’re no better than the MSM for keeping them secret.
So I asked one of the emailers what the deal was and I was directed to this section of the Kucinich website entitled “The polls you may have missed.”
Says the site …
Time after time after time, Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has topped every other candidate in major polls that the major media have either downplayed, dismissed or ignored completely. So, for the benefit of anyone who wonders about the strength and depth of Dennis’s support all across the country, take a look for yourselves.
Needless to say the polls are bogus website ‘polls’ where anybody can vote a million times, not ‘polls’ as the term is understood in the reality-based universe.
So, for the record, we are not censoring news about Kucinich being in the lead for the nomination. These are not real polls. Admittedly, we have done our best to squelch news about the Kucinich surge. But we’re always by the books with reporting polls.
