So no more than 1 in 10,000 likely GE Democratic voters
is an active DU member.

The currently-winning poll value represents 0.5 voters
and I *ASSURE* you that I'm voting and I can probably
find four more actual voters here, so that value is
clearly wrong.

Apparently, DUers are either highly innumerate or just
like to screw with polls to make a point.

* We know from a recent "rec this thread" thread that
there are at least 1200-1300 active DU members on the
Obama side. Extrapolating from that, I think we can
safely assume that there are no more than 5,000 or
so active DUers. (Remember, in the real world, most
sock puppets don't get to cast a vote unless they're
"Snow birds" illegally dual-registered in, say, NH
and FL.)
