You are a sharper guy than I give you credit for. It's painfully obvious what Friend is doing. They are making NO votes simply not register. That's lying. Very nice Chief.

That’s lying.

Seriously - Does he think that a stunt like this is going to HELP his campaign? Mr. Friend needs to grow up a little bit. If he was seriously concerned with the views of the people, doing something like this would be OUT OF THE QUESTION. Obviously he isn't the right man for Mayor. I hope people realize that.

My results - Number 78, voted NO and the NO percentage was still at .5% Message of the day: Friend is not a friend. Cheif - good investgative journalism. I can also confirm the false poll.

No change. But friend has been gettting so little publicity maybe this scandal will be good for him. No wait- lying on your website's not too classy. I voted. No change.

I'm not going to give them any help, but, it's a ship of fools running that campaign. At this point, I have just as good a chance of becoming Mayor of Omaha as Dave Friend. Wow, this is exciting, I might become Mayor! Err...not. I guess the funniest part of this whole this is that they think thier complely loaded “survey” question will help get them votes.

Instead of contacting me - which he had every opportunity to do - he just throws this dumb lowball. Do you know of anyone who voted more than once? NO! I can count at least 10 people who voted no. Under those statistics, we should have AT LEAST 10%. Also, to my amused disapointment, the website let me vote again; and AGAIN my vote was not counted. (Not even in the ticker.) Too bad Friend's friend's don't read our blog. Maybe they would ask him to be smarter next time. Don't mess with the blogosphere, Friend, you'll get served! Friend is a coward!!

Sure looks like something wrong with poll on Friend's website and great that Mike Fahey supporter is keeping an eye on competition. I do hope you are being careful and received permission from Friend campaign to reproduce copyrighted material here. You know some Republican sharply shyster will shut you down since your blog host T&C probably prohibits copyright violations. Keep up the great work! Wow, great investigation chief.

The sliver of blue in the 'no' and 'don't care' boxes is markedly larger than last week's attempt at licentiousness. But still the 'yes's have it in an overwhelming majority.
