Yes, Internet Polls Mean Nothing...

Of course, Tx-19 has Randy Neugebauer to sell us out not-represent us, so our credentials are well-established.

But Blue 19th shows us that all may not be lost.  In a uber-non-scientific internet poll EverythingLubbock.com poll (this includes the news-sites for both KAMC (ABC) and KLBK (CBS) affiliates), a majority of respondants want US troops to come home from Iraq. 

An updated count is 277 (58.32%) for, 198 (41.68%) against.  All of the standard cautions about internet polling apply - probably in triplicate.  And it has to be noted that not enough people have responded to even make it close to being statistically valid even if respondants were randomized.  Still, it is the first polling data I've seen that shows public opinion turning in Tx-19.

It's enough to raise an optimist's expectations just enough to have them crushed.
