    this poll is missing one obvious choice. Opium. Also sex should be on the poll.

            I'd say religion because the Republicans have been using "moral values" to get people to vote for them.
            To us, it is the BEAST.

              religion is not the same as moral values.

                Television has a strong victory on the coasts of America, and it's pulling even with Religion in the central states. TV is clearly gaining.

                      I'd say both suck pretty hard. Might have been a better idea to do a multiple choice poll?

                        TV is ahead in some places, but I think in other places religion still mantains a strong grip. Like Oklahoma or something.
