what are they afraid of?

Bad news - they stopped accepting new signups a while ago, until after the election.

Do NOT post exit polls. Any exit polls posted on DU will be deleted. (Nov 02nd 2004)
Exit polls are extremely unreliable, and are often used in an effort to suppress voter turnout. Therefore, we will not permit any exit polls to be posted on Democratic Underground.

Thank you for your understanding.

Don't question the wise and all- knowing DU mod./sarcasm:) Hey, DU, need a tissue?

Here's one from National REview:
Good news
EXITS [KJL]
Bush leads ohio 49 to 41

Kerry will lose before California, Washington and Oregon report, hence why they don't want it reported. Best not to affect the polls out here, and let's be honest, a lot of DUmmies are young folks who haven't yet bothered to vote. The exit poll data will keep them from bothering.

Someone from On High (or should I say Way Down Low) in Ratdom must have passed on this warning.

They can't accept the possibility that hatred won't swing this election.

His nickname is really skinner??

Thats a bit offensive isn't it? (a skinner is a child molestor)

[Kornev]

It may be from Simpsons, dunno.

[areafiftyone]

Just read the post. I am sooo excited!

[Dont Mention the War]

They're not allowing it because they know the good exit poll numbers for Bush and other GOP candidates will cause other DUmmies to get depressed and stay home.

It is that simple.

Ohio Exit: Bush leads 49-41

Just saw this thread. That's why they won't post them.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Did any one tell them about the bad fire at the Teamsters HQ in Philly?

That'll really upset them when they find out.

[BJungNan]

Could it be becuase...."Ohio Exit: Bush leads 49-41"

[GLDNGUN]

Did they post this edict before or after the Ohio exit polling came out showing Bush in the lead?

[thingumbob]

Well, they say that Liz Edwards is a fellow DUmmie......Sarcasm off.

Ya the principal is named Skinner (which I ,kind of, assumed was just a really sick joke on the part of the writers).
