Maybe you should acknowledge that these online polls are just as meaningless as the so-called "legitimate" polls.
Of course, if one of the FOX News or other media darlings had done well in the online and text messaging polls I suspect that you, like FOX News, the rest of the media, and Rush Limbaugh, wouldn't be dismissing those polls.

You are incorrect. I give no credence to website "voluntary" polls regardless of what they are about or their results because of the reasons I outlined. They are meaningless.
You are correct that many legitimate polls have biased questionis so I also always try to dig deep and see exactly what the people being polled were asked and then I weigh how much credence I give to the poll by that and also the demographic makeup of the persons polled.
