Here’s another great achievement for the Democratic Party: Terry McAuliffe’s media blitz campaign succeeded in stuffing the ballot boxes of many online polls. (Hat tip: Allah.)

With the exception of Mr. Bush’s essentially hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle — which gave the president a 51-45 percent advantage — Kerry faired significantly better in online polls from around the country.

The Chicago Tribune’s online poll, for example, gave Kerry a 68-31 percent edge, while Newsday.com had Kerry ahead by 83-16 percent.

Similar results were found in the Tampa Tribune online poll (74-23 percent in favor of Kerry) and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Kerry the winner by 83-7 percent).

The Denver Post online poll had Kerry winning 74-21 percent, and the Atlant Journal Constitution had him ahead of the president by 57-30 percent.

MSNBC’s online poll showed Kerry the winner by 62—38 percent, while CBSNews.com had him leading Mr. Bush by 88-10 percent.

For the DNC’s Kelly, the online polls showed that Kerry did the “hard work,” but also that their strategy worked. Though unscientific, the polls did represent a pattern: Democrats were online and in action.

Yes, online and in action, using laughably simple techniques to trick the mainstream media’s absolutely meaningless internet polls, vote multiple times, and inflate the numbers beyond all reality. And boasting about it to the whole world, as if it were something to be proud of.

Hooray for the Democrats!
