Title: More BS from Google? Try typing in "Rasmussen"
Post by: Godot showed up on July 20, 2010, 03:38:01 PM

For more than a year when you type in "Rasmussen" Google's search automatically suggested "Rasmussen Presdiential Daily Tracking Poll." It still does that--actually it returns the URL as clickable now--but, topping the list of other possibilities produced is "Rasmussen Presidential Daily Tracking Poll Bush". [emphasis mine]

Does anyone really believe that's what people are searching for? Please. Couldn't possibly have something to do with the fact that we're nearly on top of a midterm election, right?

I don't seen it.  It goes straight to the current page for me.

I typed in Rasmussen and hit "I'm feeling lucky" and it took me to their main page.  I didn't even see a Bush poll listed under the suggestions.

Type in Rasmussen, then "d" if you have to, and don't click the blue URL that comes up first--look at the other choices just below before you go anywhere.

Yeesh. Something I wouldn't want. That sounds pretty painful.

Rasmussen's disease is an inflammatory, chronic and progressive brain disorder that usually presents with neocortical focal seizures resistant to conventional treatment and culminates in severe deterioration with hemiparesis, cognitive decline and aphasia.

It sounds like something the DUmmies may suffer from after seeing the daily tracking polls for Obama. Their heads assplode.  :-)
