Blog Poll So Far

I'm impressed that twice as many Obama supporters as Barr and McCain supporters combined view this blog -- at least, according to the poll I have at the bottom of this blog. But where are the comments? I have almost nothing good to say about Obama and the Left, and nobody leaves comments?

How many people participated in the poll?

Maybe you use to many scare words, one for example: calling people marxist. Extreme talk can shy people away.

"Marxist" isn't an extreme word. It's an accurate word. I"m not going to pretend someone's not a Marxist when they are.

I should have been more explicit: I asked because there can be many more reasons besides agreement that people don't comment:

- no time

- can't be bothered

- generally don't comment on blogs

- don't participate in political discussions as these are usually unproductive

and probably a hundred reasons I didn't think of. I hence don't find it too surprising that if 15 (or so) readers indicate support for Obama, none of them comments if you write something negative about him.

I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why there are few comments, but I may have been trying to nudge people into leaving comments with my observation.

The poll is up to 27 now. My other purpose in making this post was to inform people about the poll so they would take it.
