"As of Dec. 5, the polls on www.barbie.com indicate that architect Barbie is winning..." Despite the fact that Mattel has stated that the poll results will not impact their decision "That isn't stopping architects around the country, presumably older than barbie.com's target audience of girls three to 11 years old, from voting with a vengeance in both the kids and parents polls, as, apparently are the librarians. The police, which have badly trailed consistently for a week, presumably have other things to distract them from voting."
