I experimented with a Twitter poll yesterday. The small sampling yielded interesting results:
"Which candidate would you be LEAST scared to see holding the nuclear controls?" (Participate in current poll here.) |
So now I want to give a larger number of people a shot at answering the question. The poll asking "Which candidate would you be LEAST scared to see holding the nuclear controls?" will run for one week. Please participate in the poll, and share the poll with others so they can weigh in, too.
Please use these hashtags for this issue: #nuclear #president.

The clock is ticking. If Barack Obama is going to make a difference in stopping the threat that nuclear weapons pose to the world, there is one (and only one) thing to do.
