When does a pro-increasing immigration body not endorse a candidate getting 74% of member vote? Ron Paul?

Initially TechCrunch polled its members for an endorsement, but not liking the result on the Republican side, gave the endorsement to McCain, instead. They looked at those who wanted to increase H1B visas and globalization, specifically.





Oh, for Dems, Obama was the Democratic winner.





"The TechCrunch primary poll captured 15,734 votes. The results by candidate are as follows:





Democrats





Barack Obama 61% of votes





John Edwards 26% of votes





Mike Gravel 7% of votes





Hillary Clinton 6% of votes





Republicans





Ron Paul 74% of votes





John McCain 16% of votes





Mike Huckabee 5% of votes





Mitt Romney 3% of votes





Rudy Giuliani 1% of votes"





What do you think of this?

When does a pro-increasing immigration body not endorse a candidate getting 74% of member vote? Ron Paul?
Just one more example of an obvious bias against Ron Paul. It sucks.
Reply:Because online polls are notoriously easy to manipulate and the results are meaningless. Remember when all the Howard Stern fans voted in People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person online poll, and Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf came out on top? The fact that Paul's supporters flooded the site doesn't mean he has support from real voters.
