If the polls are accurate predictors, then why have elections at all? Why not just poll?
Too bad for the left, exit polls don't elect the President. That exit polls are what they'll base "selected, not elected" on this time shows that the poll watchers kept a lot of the fraud down.
Before reading the Palast article, remind yourself that Bush won, that nothing is going to change that, and this is simply a rant by a Marxist twit.
Once you do that, Palast's article is really quite hilarious. Unintentionally so, of course, but it's frankly one of the stupidest pieces of prose this side of Jane Smiley.
Yes, the 280 Ohioians who answered the exit pollster is a better indication than the millions of votes that were cast.
We must have aimed poorly and missed one of his ancestors back in 1812. Brits are funny when they whine.
I didn't know communists (like Palast) believe it hell? ......although I can understand his being outraged at Reagan's primary accomplishment -- destroying communist Russia.
Well, you don't expect Palast to believe the Ohio Secretary of State do you?
After all, the Secretary is a ...... a ....... a Blackamoor.
Palast was in the Michael Medved show today. He had plenty of interesting things to say and we had a good thread.

They just won't accept it... To Bad, BUSH WON!!
Puh-leeze. I worked in a precinct at this election. Voters get three chances on a written ballot, and that's it. Some spoiled ballots are spoiled by random marks (an elderly person who is very unsteady often drags their pen and makes extra marks), some are spoiled because the voter wasn't paying attention and marked the wrong box, and some - I hate to say it - are spoiled because the voter can't read and won't ask for help.
The supervisor in my polling place did everything possible to make sure that everyone voted, and when the third ballot had been requested, he made sure that the voter knew that they couldn't have another one, but that if they needed someone to help them, they could get it. In one case, they requested help; in another, they didn't.
Incidentally, the supervisor was a black man.
How would the Brits like michael moore messing in their elections?
Did this guy work for the Census when they were trying to use "statistical analysis" to create people instead of actually counting them?
Hey Greg
Bite Me!!!
(Like we give a damn what you think.....and I am an African American who voted for BUSH)
Nah. Not fatass enough.
Palast tries to use CNN's exit polling data...
Hehehe. I gues that's the flip side to the exit-poll sucker punch we felt at 1pm: the exit poll wedgie the libs were all feeling by 9pm. Sweet.
Even if this is true, it proves nothing. It is not the function of the state to simplify voting beyond what's required for an average person. If some group is not up to the task (whites, blacks, the elderly, stupid people, etc), they should get their own house in order. There are no barriers being intentionally placed in their way, and he admits the process is easy enough for 97% of voters to master. He should stop whining and get a job. In fact, making use of one's right to vote is probably too EASY. How about an intelligence test, a test of Constitutional knowledge, or only allowing taxpayers to vote?
