Virtual polls

With all manner of online video games coming up to mimic reality (throw shoes at George Bush, eggs at Satyam’s Ramalinga Raju, etc), it was only a matter of time before an online voting site came into being. Engage Voter (http://www.engagevoter.com) seeks to do that. Its publisher is someone by the name of Sanjay Puri, and the editor Sulina Menon. So far, LK Advani is winning (1,386 votes for and 1,042 against), more people want Sonia Gandhi out than in (1,385 votes for and 1,841 against); Raj Thackeray is winning (2,011 for and 1,795 against) … The site also allows you to build your dream cabinet, which others visiting the site can vote for or against.
