Don't think author being candidate or not makes any difference here. Also don't think it is major problem. To me it feels a bit inappropriate and unconventional but I don't see it as real problem. And after all I felt similar about this poll too so I'm not surprised with this one either ;-) Looks like penguinbait simply loves to create polls about anything :-)

Anyway, maybe anything that gives our candidates opportunity to express themselves and anything that raises awareness about Maemo council elections in general is a good thing including exit polls :-)
