CNN quick vote has 77% for John Edwards, 18% for Cheney and 5% even.
155,000 votes.

I just don't believe those numbers. Holy smokes. Cheney has to be the most hated man in America because I thought he was on top of that battle with a slight edge. I expected a 53/47 split for Cheney.

I agree Lanny.
I feel that alot of these people voting on these polls are making decisions based on bad information. That is a scarey proposition.
People hate Cheney becuase of his ties with Halliburton. Why? Whats the big deal?
These people will say that the Iraq war was only about oil, and Cheney's ties with Halliburton are the reason for this.
They are looking at one or 2 issues and making decisions based upon those 2 issues. Instead of looking at the whole picture, and weighing the plus's and minus's of each.
Also, on-line voting polls are scewed. They usually aren't accurate. But it is still
rather scarey to see those numbers. [/b][/quote]
I agree. Those "numbers" are screwy.
But no more screwy than the number you say people hate Cheney for (one). Hate is a strong word, but there are more reasons that just that one for people to want to be rid of him.
You ask "what's the big deal about Halliburton"? The answer is "Halliburton got a big deal". He's on the payroll. Whether it's all crooked or not (which I happen to think it is), you just have to admit it looks terrible. The unfortunate fact that Halliburton (who still issue Cheney a cheque) has been caught with their hands deep inside the cookie jar doesn't help.
