I know on-line polls are pointless, but I sure love to ruin a DUmmy's day.

Barack Obama
13%
Mitt Romney
87%

Heh -- all 12 of my IP numbers have voted - and will probably vote again sometime in the future. ( two at home, eight more connected to my webserver, one proxy and one Verizon phone )

Looks like Romney is still up 70-30%.

And this is in Boston, no less!   :lmao:

Well, to be fair, WRKO AM680 & Talk1200 Boston are two very solidly right-leaning Massachusetts talk-radio stations. Most others are a mixed bag at best.  One also needs to be aware that Massachusetts isn't as 'blue' as it is Gerrymandered to be. There is a solid conservative minority that has been cut-up such that we are politically neutered. For example :

The blue field in the east, (Obviously) is Boston and its suburbs. The blue in the west are Berkshire Foothills. This is where all the rich liberals live. The Upper cape is Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, which is all hippes/gay community. The random blue blobs in the red field are large, poor urban settings - Fall River, New Bedford, Lowell, Springfield, Worcester etc.

The sea of red surrounding Boston is referred to collectively as 'the 495 corridor' - mostly small towns, with small business owners, doing what they need to do to make a living. This is the congressional district map.

..And this is why Massachusetts Republicans and conservative independents lose. Each district that touches the 495 corridor grabs a large city or two in order to nullify the conservatives in the rest of the district.
