...I think that's crap. You're stooping to their level. They're silly online polls, and they won't change the course of this election one way or the other.

I am happy to do my part and vote in them, but to do so repeatedly is crossing the line. It symbolizes exactly what's wrong with politics today.

This isn't hard-hitting negative advertising, exploiting opponents' contradictions or changing the subject to the one you want; all of these tactics, while obscuring the real issues I want to hear about, are at least ethically defensible.

But voting in a poll and clearing cookies so you can do it more than once is really no different from taking home all the republican ballots in Florida and filling them out so they'll be counted, while leaving the democratic ones in the inbox. It's called gaming the system, and it's cheating.
