   I think I know what you mean. There's a million reasons to distrust polls   
   unless (literally) if it's a voting topic on your BBS.   
      
   The media never tells how the "poll" was conducted, they just tell who   
   conducted it, and we're supposed to trust it because it's a long fancy word   
   like "Quinnipiac."   
      
   Seriously, if you look at a BBS voting topic on Renegade or something, it will   
   show who voted and how they voted. To me that's a lot better than "Quinnipiac"   
   or "RootMetrics."   
      
   Renegade is hard-coded, so I'd even trust it to conduct our elections.
