What has happened...The exit polls showed a solid Kerry win.

Exit poll seems to be wrong.

Why?

IMHO....They asked the wrong questions in the poll (or, more likely, extrapolated the wrong vote for the answer given)

They asked, "Is the war in Iraq going well?"
If the answer was "No", they put it as a vote for Kerry. But hell....many Bush voters would say the same thing.

It's like if they asked me if the "Country was moving in the right direction?" I would say "Yes". What they WOULDN'T know was that I said that because Bush had used his vetoes...was too tepid in Iraq....didn't veto CFR.

So I repeat....they asked stupid questions in the exit polls.

You are correct. I saw the Hume round table and they couldn't figure out how they were supposed to assign the answers to which candidate.

They used a bogus cross-section of voters.

Newt Gingrich said earlier this afternoon that the demographics were ridiculous.

Heavily stacked with strong Rat voters, women, minorities, young first-time voters, etc...
