The managing editor of CNBC seems genuinely surprised and disappointed that his online poll about who won the debate was flooded by Ron Paul supporters:
But you also ruined the purpose of the poll. It was no longer an honest “show of hands” — it suddenly was a platform for beating the Ron Paul drum. That certainly wasn’t our intention and certainly doesn’t serve our readers … at least those who aren’t already in the Ron Paul camp. Some of you Ron Paul fans take issue with my decision to take the poll down. Fine. When a well-organized and committed “few” can throw the results of a system meant to reflect the sentiments of “the many,” I get a little worried. I’d take it down again.
This is indeed, shocking and unbelievable… unless you noticed that Ron Paul’s supporters have done this to every online post-debate poll since the campaign began.
