Isnt this considered "bias"? As Americans shouldn’t we look at the qualifications of EACH canidate and vote accordingly? It amazes me that ALL states do not have the same law as to where anyone can vote in the caucases, regardless of party orientation.
A whole bunch of them.
Now that many states have some form or another of Early Voting, are states going to be tabulating the vote each night and releasing the running total results? Or will everything be counted and reported only after polls close on Election Day?
Also, what do you think they *should* do? Does the public have a right to know who’s "winning" in real results rather than polls, or would that cause some form of fraud, since it might influence people to vote or not vote if they know their candidate is winning or trailing?
Nowadays, there should be no one in position to hide anything the public should know. Like election results, it’s open for public. An I think that would not happen in America as it’s not the popularity that counts more but the electoral votes. And as we have observed, right from the start, the candidates are being followed by reporters as they are the hottest scopes. And with our advance technology, it’s impossible to hide anything like this. In fact, there are a lot of companies doing surveys like Rasmussen which you can find here:

About a month ago fellow YouTuber, JoeFelice, tagged me in a video challenge. I was supposed to either register myself, or find someone to register to vote. Being a Canadian this was a challenge.
On my recent trip to New York City and Maine I looked for somebody who had not yet registered. This video documents what I found.

Here’s the post call from Iowa, where ABCNews.com is running two polling races, trying to figure out who’s winning the Democratic debate.
This report sponsored in part by http://www.kauaikeepsakes.com
And ‘Ask Your Computer Guy’ Support Center
http://www.kauaikeepsakes.com/computerguy/
You can go here to make your own call.
In the First Race, we have Seabisquit, with Dennis Kucinich up, holding the front position, followed by Sir Illinois, with Brack Obama up, followed closely by that mare from NY, Miss Hillary, considered a pre race favorite.
UPDATE on 8 October 2008…
News Item..ABCNews.com removes both polls from their site. There is no longer anyone winning the Democratic debate from Iowa. Gotta love these techno editorializing folks, eh?
Track #1 Voting Poll(Original)
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Decision2008/popup?id=3493427
Track #2 Voting Poll(Second)
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Decision2008/popup?id=3493369
And on track number 2, we have Seabisquit, again, with Kucinich up, leading by a nose, with Obama close behind, and Miss Hillary following on, gathering help from the former groom of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, Billary.
Stay tuned to this station, for more highlights, as the dual race results pour in from ABCNews trackside.
This is your reporter, Patrick Michaels, from Iowa.
Just thought you might appreciate that this technical glitch, will result in one or the other being dropped, by ABCNews.com, or they will re-start the race, or will run them side by side.
Note that there is a subtle difference between who’s WINNING the debate, and WHO Won the debate, eh?

UPDATE SEPT 2 07 ****MUST READ****
I just got an email through the Ron Paul Meetup up group from the well known “Granny Warriors”
They just informed everyone that they have PROOF that an ENTIRE BUS FULL of Ron Paul DELEGATES from San Antonio were prevented from voting. They arrived on time and were denied. After another bus pulled up and they were ushered in through the side entrance.
END UPDATE#1
The vote was supposed to be until 1 or 2 pm, but GOP security prevented registered Delegates from entering the building who were wearing Ron Paul signs at 10am.
I was standing over by the Granny warriors when 2 delegates approached me and asked me to help them get into the convention center.
They had showed up at the door a little before 10am wearing Ron Paul shirts. The security guard told them to change into proper attire. They left and changed then came back and it was now 10:10/10:20 and the security told them the registration was closed.
Apparently everyone who showed up from out of town or with an online registration recpt. was denied access unless they got there before 10am and in proper attire.
Delegates who showed up, got their credentials and then changed were allowed to enter.
In the video the woman in red asks a Ron Paul organizer for her pass. He tells her the woman with the box has it. She runs to the woman with the box of passes, and askes if she has the passes, and the woman tells her no. So what was in that box, and why was she in such a hurry to get the box out of the convention center? It was in my opinon a lie and the passes were in the box.
The security guard is asked by me on camera who he works for, and he evades the question. If he works for the GOP then why not say “yes GOP” he says “the party” Who’s party? Another candidate? Who told this security guard to deny access to Ron Paul delegates?
We counted about 12 or so people walking up to the door and being turned away every 10 min or so. This went on from 10am till 1:30 when I left. This does not count the delegates who showed up in Ron Paul shirts and could not or decided not to change and simply went home frustrated and out the $50 or $75 fee the GOP charges.
If they paid for credentials and were denied them, should they file a dispute on their credit card? Would hundreds of disputes on the GOP merchant account make national headlines, and force the merchant account provider to suspend or even file criminal charges against the account holder?

TRANSCRIPT:
Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this bill. This is only going to make the problem that much worse. The problem came about because we spent too much; we borrowed too much, and we printed too much money; we inflated too much, and we overregulated. This is all that this bill is about is more of the same.
So you can’t solve the problem. We are looking at a symptom. We are looking at the collapsing of a market that was unstable. It was unstable because of the way it came about. It came about because of a monopoly control of money and credit by the Federal Reserve System, and that is a natural consequence of what happens when a Federal Reserve System creates too much credit.
Now, there have been a fair number of free market economists around who have predicted this would happen. Yet do we look to them for advice? No. We totally exclude them. We don’t listen to them. We don’t look at them. We look to the people who created the problem, and then we perpetuate the problem.
The most serious mistake that could be made here today is to blame free market capitalism for this problem. This has nothing to do with free market capitalism. This has to do with a managed economy, with an inflationary system, with corporatism, and with a special interest system. It has nothing to do with the failure of free markets and capitalism. Yet we’re resorting now, once again, to promoting more and more government.
Long term, this is disastrous because of everything we’re doing here and because of everything we’ve done for 6 months. We’ve already pumped in $700 billion. Here is another $700 billion. This is going to destroy the dollar. That’s what you should be concerned about. Yes, Wall Street is in trouble. There are a lot of problems, and if we don’t vote for this, there are going to be problems. Believe me: If you destroy the dollar, you’re going to destroy a worldwide economy, and that’s what we’re
on the verge of doing, and it is inevitable, if we continue this, that that’s what’s going to happen. It’s going to be a lot more serious than what we’re dealing with today.
We need to get our house in order. We need more oversight–that is a certainty–but we need oversight of the Federal Reserve System, of the Exchange Stabilization Fund and of the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets. Find out what they’re doing. How much have they been meddling in the market?
What we’re doing today is going to make things much worse.
