The Taco Bell poll - rigged against Taco Bell stockholders!

Rand Simberg carries this story: "Democrats say Taco Bell poll is rigged." Of course it is: Ah-nold the beef taco is trouncing Gray Davis the chicken taco. [Chairman of the California Democratic Party Art] "Torres said beef tacos always outsell chicken tacos, which cost twice as much at the restaurant chain. In Sacramento, Torres said, Taco Bell sells beef tacos for 74 cents and chicken tacos for $1.50. "

Now if I were a Taco Bell stockholder, I would be asking why Ah-nold's vote wasn't tied to the more expensive chicken taco and super-unpopular Gray Davis wasn't associated with the cheap beef taco. That's a missed opportunity to make some money, right there.
