What you need to do is set the cookie in the referring blog, and read it from the voting booth, maybe. Not a web designer. Advertisers seem to be able to do it.

I’d really like “None of the Above” choices. (Frankly, looking down the two lists, I would have been tempted to vote Notb for both!) Any third-party or independants declared yet? Will they show up?

Can’t vote. I like cookies but not those with unknown ingredients in them.

Why is Bill Gates evil? He’s donating his entire fortune to charity. Jobs is in trouble with stock options but the media turns the other way because of the iCharm he has.

iMedia darling?

“If you have Microsoft Internet Explorer 7, (I don’t) please change your security settings to allow cookies from pajamasmedia.com”

That’s a hell of a thing to have to do just to vote at PJM. Either we have to change and restore our settings everytime, or we roam the internet with little or no defense.

Sorry, Roger. I’ld like to oblige to honor your efforts, but not at that price. No one cares what I think anyway (sniff).

I mean, you got the first cookie monster who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking puppet… I mean, that’s a storybook, man.

Kerry who?

Hello plagiarist Joe.

OK, I figured out the problem with Safari:

If you look in the Preferences for Safari, under “Security”, you have the following choices for cookies:

Accept Cookies:

* Always
* Never
* Only from sites you navigate to (For example, not from advertisers on those sites)

The default, I think, is the last option. Your poll requires Safari to accept cookies from a third party site, however. The answer is to tell people using Safari to allow cookies “Always” in their preferences.

“Um, I have Safari 2.0.4 with cookies enabled and am running OS X 10.4.8 and can’t vote.

Thought you might want to know.”

Me too. I supposedly own the latest and greatest in Aplle products—and I can’t vote. Maybe the evil Bill Gates is responsible for our troubles?

I’m running Safari 2.0.4, with cookies enabled, latest o/s updates and can’t vote either.

“Your browser does not support cookies.”

I run default security settings and get cookies all the time. Don’t know what the problem is, but I’m not lowering security settings to below normal just to vote at a few sites.
