If you buy the polls, you sell the election
Every time you, or I, hear that McCain is closing the gap between him and Obama; or, that there is a close gap, and you let it go, you allow the media's Republicon owners to steal another election.

Stealing elections requires more than technology. It also requires buy-in and acceptance from the public or else, the thievery is too obvious. Polls bring that believability and help the media to explain the unexplainable.

The truth is, every election can't be close. People want a change--many Americans are struggling and it's not by a close margin either. There's a wide gap between the haves and the have-nots and that gap should translate to poll results. Over the course of eight hellious years, it is not fathomable that people don't want to see something different in our political system.

What can be done? Identify which advertisers support the media outlets airing skewed polling results and stop buying their products.
