Oh, they were excellent. They were the Iraqi Information Minister of polls. I’m surprised they did not “unskew” the election results, and declare Romney the winner by a landslide. ---

I’m sure they’ll be back before the 2016 elections, pretending 2012 never happened, ready to dish out their own brand of unbiased polling ---

Someone should unskew their closure and put up a site claiming that if you adjust the numbers, the cite is still up. ---

Still, you have to feel a little sorry for all those website workers right now. After all, I’m sure none of them saw this coming. ---

Unfortunately, [www.barackofraudo.com](http://www.barackofraudo.com) also seems to be down now. barackfraudo came up for me, but I didn’t stay more than a few seconds: I felt something drilling into my head (like the spheres in the [Phantasm](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079714) movies) and got out fast before it started sucking out my brains. ---

If you go to [barackofraudo.com](http://barackofraudo.com) (clever!), you can click on [UnskewedMedia.com](http://UnskewedMedia.com) and [UnSkewedPolitics.com](http://UnSkewedPolitics.com) and from there go to [UnSkewedPolls.com](http://UnSkewedPolls.com). I don’t see anything new posted, except for a gazillion spambot posts on the comments page, but that’s still the opposite of having been taken down. ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > I’m sure they’ll be back before the 2016 elections, pretending 2012 never happened, ready to dish out their own brand of unbiased polling Well, the entire 2012 Republican campaign pretended that 2000 - 2008 never happened. ---
