ATV electioneering
It was interesting to note the progress of our current Web site poll on ATV trails in Pownal. For several days, those who don't want ATV trails on Pownal back roads were in the majority, about 65 percent to about 35 percent for those in favor. But a strange thing has happened over the past two days. Now the tally is exactly reversed. Hmmm.
I remember something like this happening when I worked at another paper. The poll was on who would you want for president, Hillary Clinton or Condi Rice, and, it being Massachusetts, Hillary was well in front --- until the last day or two when Rice picked up a few hundred votes to jump into the lead.
I always suspected Karl Rove was behind that one. Well, maybe Alberto Gonzales. This time, I wonder which ATV club is pulling the electronic strings.
But hey, politics ain't Wiffle Ball, or something like that. Right?
