Thanks for the ping!

I suspect they did it to demoralize the GOP. It didn't work - it rallied the GOP instead.

I get that part.

But,if they knew that these were NOT the actual, accurate results of what was happening, wouldn't they want to know what the REAL results were?

It's not like the Dems to let anything this important (factual exit poll results) go unknown. For them to be caught so off guard is surprising to me.

"For them to be caught so off guard is surprising to me"

You shouldn't be surprised. Dan was eagerly willing to believe forged documents fed to him by the Kerry campaign .. The MSM was willing to stop crediting Bush with states he won .. The MSM was willing to hide Kerry's true record.

THEY WANTED TO BELIEVE THE NUMBERS .. THEY BELIEVED THEIR OWN ERRONEOUS PRESS. That's why they're unfit to lead America.

[airborne]

But in all of that, they all knew what was fake and what was the truth. With the election exit polls, they knew (I'm assuming now) that the numbers were cooked. Why would they take such an enormous chance in not knowing the truth?

"They wanted to believe" is amatuerish for professional con men like the DNC and MSM.

I'm not saying you're wrong. It just doesn't pass my own personal suspicious 'smell test'.

[CyberAnt]

But .. if you remember the reaction of the liberal crowds - and even the people within the campaign .. I don't believe they knew the early numbers were skewed. Only those within the campaign (presumably Joe Lockhart) knew the plan was in place.

We know exit numbers are not that reliable .. however, dems live on that kind of unrealistic polling.

[airborne]

They really screwed up when they dropped all of their planned last minute legal efforts to contest the results. They MIGHT have been able to pull it out at the end.

That's one of the reasons I still can't understand why they did the things they did, and didn't do the things they didn't.

I left Tuesday night to go to Boy Scouts with the boy around 6 PM and I was seriously bummed about the exit polls.

So I'm glad those pricks felt twenty times as bad as I felt. They had it coming.

[Snapple]

I wonder if some people who voted for Bush wouldn't tell their vote to newsmen. Maybe if they don't trust the media, they wouldn't tell. I wouldn't tell a reporter. Why give him any information?

I passed out the Bush ballot at my polling place in Virginia, and practically everyone took a Republican and a Democrat sample ballot. Perhaps they didn't want anyone to know how they would vote. But the whole world was there at 6 AM voting so I think they knew who they wanted.

[Dog Gone]

I wouldn't have any problem telling a reporter how I voted. He could could probably figure it out by looking at the bumper sticker on my truck, in any event.

[TankerKC]

I filed a complaint with the poll watchers here in Ohio.

Have you heard anything? If not, maybe a call to the media. I'd like for someone to get to the bottom of this.

[gitmo]

He's right. How can you get exit polls wrong? You can't.

You can if everyone misleads the pollsters. I for one would like to see their demise.

Stand at the entrance to a building instead of the exit.

[ladyinred]

This was no mere mistake. Exit polls cannot be as wrong across the board as they were on election night. I suspect foul play.

This is something Dick should know about. I agree with him that this was dims dirty tricks, and it doesn't surprise me in the least. We are fighting a war on two fronts.

[ladyinred]

Cadell certainly has no use for the Clinton regime. He really is angry about how these scum have hijacked his party. God Bless him for speaking out.

[A CA Guy]

"HAD" a thriving business.

[JusPasenThru]

I believe he is tripping the light, fantastic toe.

[OESY]

There is a pattern here. McAuliffe's Dems ginned up the post-debate polls so the could claim victory for Kerry in each of the three debates. It became a major talking point.

Remember what Craig Livingstone told us was the Clinton admin mantra: "History is what you make it." And the MSM practices the principle to the disadvantage of their opponents daily.

[maine-iac7]

were in fact direct reports from Kerry campaign or Democratic Party operatives on the ground in such critical states as Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. According to a Washington lobbyist with knowledge of the numbers, the numbers were packaged together so as to appear to be exit poll results. They were then scrubbed through several sources to

paydirt!

NOW DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

We can't let this be buried...

[maine-iac7]

in 2000...a deliberate ploy by someone to trick the networks into calling the state, albeit incorrectly, and thereby interfere with the election

In 2000, the MSM didn't need t be tricked - they were in on it and did it deliberately as it had worked for them in the past...but they hadn't been so blatant about it...
