Anti Merger Camp Still Gaining

Since yesterdays report 51 new comments have been filed bringing the total to date to 499. Of today’s 51 comments, 10 were for the merger and 31 were against. Once again, most of the comments were form letters that ssem to be an effort established by a group of people. this was the case for comments both pro and anti merger. Another thing we see happening is backlash from fans of Opie & Anthony, who now seem to be making efforts in the anti-merger camp.

The events of today see the anti merger crowd gaining 4 points.

PRO MERGER – 54.91% (down from 58.93%)

ANTI MERGER – 40.48% (up from 35.94%)

NOT APPLICABLE – 4.01% (down from 4.46%)
