Good morning.

It would be even better if nothing was reported until the last poll closed. But this is a start.

“There were an awful lot of people on the Internet talking about things they don’t understand,”’ said Gawiser, head of the news organizations’ steering committee. “First-wave exit poll data is not terribly accurate.”

Pretty funny how they try to shift responsibility for the debacle caused by the exit polls to the internet bloggers and not to the pollsters, media and funders of the polls themselves. Good morning.

Waiting for actual and accurate results will NOT endanger the republic.

Fixing exit polls? LOL at this exercise in futility. There's way too many ways the numbers can be wrong, innocently through mistake or carelessness, or intentional mischief by everyone in the information chain. And blaming this fiasco on bloggers is a huge CYA joke, which further exposes the media's basic dishonesty.

It wasn't a blogger who called Imus early afternoon and told him Kerry was going to win. It was Tim Russert. Imus said he called everyone he knew and told them the good news. Everybody in the media got the word Kerry was ahead, and because the media was ecstatic with the news, they lost all professional common sense and reason.

The media's disappointment must be profound, and let me tell you, I delight in their misery. The whole thing reminds me of a Mel Brooks movie.
