HA poll makes no sense

Date: May 20, 2005

The question is ambiguously worded, but so far the vote is running 80+% in favor of the idea that Shelby was pushed. This conclusion seems so obvious that it seems hard to deny. As Martha Stewart would say, "it's a good thing."

Apparently Shelby has spent most of the morning in his office hitting the "Chose" button.

Once again Shelby loses a vote by an overwhelming margin. In the whole time I have been visiting this board, he has never once come close to winning one of these polls. The results have almost always been as lopsided as this result. Too bad the IHL doesn't vote this way.
