Less than 24 hours later there were over 5,000 votes at a newspaper that is lucky to get 300 votes in a poll.She doesn't provide the actual results of the poll, and they really don't matter, considering the fact that they are worthless.
An investigation began ... and it was discovered a tie with Daily Kos, the nationwide extremely liberal democrat blogging network, to spam or google bomb the News Leader poll by urging thousands of liberal bloggers to vote against Congressman Goodlatte.
But how about that News Leader poll question?
Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-6th, has again voted against extending the State Children's Health Insurance Program. If a challenge is mounted against Goodlatte in 2008, who will you vote for? Goodlatte or the challenger?That's about as leading a question as I've ever seen. It would be akin to my doing the following poll:
Hillary Clinton, not wanting it any longer, gave away the family cat, Socks, to the hired help. Will you as an animal lover vote for her in the upcoming 2008 election?A question with an intended answer hardly constitutes an opinion poll.
The Staunton News Leader could just as well have made the poll look like this:

Candidate. Okay, I get it.
Don't try to figure it out. It'll just hurt.
