Spectator

According to at least three sources, one inside the Kerry campaign, and two outside of it, but with ties to senior Kerry advisers, some of the "early polling numbers" 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 land in the lap of sympathetic bloggers who these operatives believed would put the numbers up with little question.

It didn't happen that way. The networks were not getting their exit poll numbers from Drudge or any blogger. They paid for the survey, and they got the numbers from the pollsters. Even if the results had not been leaked, the networks were led to believe that Kerry was running away with it.

The only reasonable explanation is that someone within the polling organization leaked the polling places to the Kerry Campaign, and that Kerry sent his voters to be there at that certain time. The people the pollsters were talking to might not have even voted at that place, but were prepared to tell the pollsters that they had just voted for Kerry.

hm...somewhat like the forged Rather documents. Fed through several layers to appear in the hands of Rather's people.
