tobacco snap poll

[Chris Burford]

I see an internet snap poll being run on the CNN website (totally
unrepresentative
of anything clearly defined of course) shows the voting running neck and
neck, at exactly
50:50.

Or to be more accurate there is a slight lead of 181 votes out of 28
thousand. 

It runs for 24 hours presumably. 

Not that supporters of the tobacco companies would necessarily wish to bias
the results...

                  Should the federal government sue

                  tobacco companies to recover health

                  care costs, despite the states' lawsuit?
