4. The internets know no borders
Nor do Freepers.



Well, wait — they're hyper-aware of one.

8. You have to read it from the bottom up.
I thought it was McCain first, too, but if you look at it from the bottom up, it's Obama who has the 52%. It's a little confusing the way it's laid out.

9. If You Look At The Actual Poll It Is Clearly McCain at 52%
I wish it were otherwise.

Edited on Sun Feb-24-08 03:55 AM by Tarheel_Dem
you're just flat out lying. You have been told time and again that you must read the poll from the bottom up. What's so hard about that? Perhaps this will help?

12. Yikes, I Have No Idea
I swear I checked it twice before answering. Third time was the charm. Give me a break, I have no reason to want McCain to be leading.

21. I've Always Had Very Good Reading Comprehensive Test
scores but there was one time in High School (I think it was a Helen Woods Speed Reading Test or something) that I got nearly every answer wrong and they inundated my parents with pleas to join their program and get me help. Can't help wondering now if they didn't put the answer bubbles above the questions. LOL

11. It is otherwise.
I Thought the same thing, but the results are above the name, not below it. Start with Paul at 22 percent on the bottom and work on up.
