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.

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.
