The big story of the month was the Washington
Post’s blogoscabbing program, which attracted national
condemnation.
The original
post will go down as the second-most visited post in the history of
MPW, behind only “Pols
Party While Budget Burns.” Even the world-famous Washington Post
can’t compete with these guys!
We
are not surprised that most of the remaining leaders are MPW polls,
which are relentlessly stuffed by politicians. Some candidates truly
resent them because of the time and effort required to drive supporters
to vote in them. “You have to stop running these polls or we are all
going to hate you!” ranted one politician, who especially despised our
exposing ballot stuffers. OK, we get it. We will not run any more
contest-specific reader polls until our next Primaries to Watch series
and we will no longer poke fun at ballot stuffers. For the record,
almost every candidate polled sends supporters to vote in them.
