There's one sane person on the thread who is pointing out to the wingnuts that a Democrat pollster on mysterypollster.com has completely debunked the notion that the exit polls are more accurate than the vote. All the DUmmies are attacking this person as a freeper and claiming that the Democrat pollster is a freeper plant. It's priceless.

What is so hilarious about the whole "exit poll" nonsense is that the Dummies appear totally uninterested in the methodology behind exit polls and the many scenarios which can cause significant error.

For those who don't know the fatal flaw in the Ohio exit poll was that many (approx. 200,000) newly (and fraudulently) registered Democrats did not show up with fake ID to vote. Since the exit poll samples are based on registration percentages they were off by approximately 2-3% in Ohio.

It is not just the Dummies who worshipped at the alter of the exit polls. Britt Hume and other media types spent all election night whining about them.

Polls are only as good as the methodology behind them. Anyone who relies upon them is very foolish. Political professionals use polls as one tool in a large toolkit. They would never consider them as a sole data point for drawing any type of conclusion during or at the end of a race.

Re: DUmmies attacking poster refuting their exit poll arguments:

Typical. The DUmmies eye anyone who doesn't have the same lockstep mindframe as a "freeper" - their ultimate insult. But I don't expect anything else from a group of people who are constantly searching for conspiracies under every rock.
