We’ve been having fun over at Pajamas tracking the cheaters on our weekly presidential straw poll (yes, their votes will be deducted.). We know a lot more about them then they realize. Some people are obviously goofing off at work for some big corporations, others are just goofing off. In the coming weeks, as the poll spreads to other websites, this will be more difficult for the spammers to do. Of course they’ll still be able to, if they really want to waste their time. But the chances are we’ll see what they’re doing. If I were a candidate, I’m not sure I’d enjoy seeing support for me that is obviously bogus to all. But, as they in on the internet, YMMV.

1. J. Mark English:I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:
http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com
If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.
Thanks,

Not cheating here is all well and good, but in political warfare, “cheating” is essential.
Dirty tricks are the god sent of an otherwise dull, dismal campaign.
If I was running and only had money to do either great dirty tricks or a wonky add on the perils of the trade deficit, I go for the dirty trick.
Can you imagine what it must have been like “volunteering” for inspector Perot in 92?
