    Important reminder: Online polls are not scientific

    Some actual journalist over at MSNBC took the responsibility to indicate that their online polls are not representative of national opinion. The article is a good reminder about why we shouldn't run out on the street and tell people about the result of an online poll.

    And if you really want to know what's up, look into social research methods, and find out how much consideration and research goes into conducting a representative survey.
