The Best Straw Poll Money Can Buy!

SEE HERE You have to wonder just how skewed our perceptions are by the vast sums of money being squandered on the primary season.  When millions and millions of dollars are spent on negative advertising, busing and getting voter blocs to straw polls that are commonly small turn out things, and skewing the demographics after a while you begin to wonder how much it takes to break the system entirely?  I'd say it is broken already, but I don't like most of the "solutions" that limit people's freedom.  My general sense is that what one needs is total transparency and truth in advertising and then stand back and let people that are fully informed decide for themselves.  I don't think we're very near to getting that and that's a big big problem.
