Comment Polls on the Front page are stupid (Score 5, Insightful) 150
Polls and stories are two different beasts.
Polls accumulate data over a period of days, whereas articles on the FP are generally collect comments over a period of hours - then are done.
Thus putting polls on the FP means that you have totally changed the time that they collect data, and tries to shoehorn a poll into something it isn't.
