In lots of polling places, the exit pollsters were set up right next to the Kerry/Edwards/MoveOn tables. What Republican in their right mind wanted to deal with those Bozos?
I heard that the exit polls were primarily taken in the cities. Look at the County Red/Blue maps and you will see what this would do. The consortium probably wanted to save money and it bit them in the a$$.
The press hasn't been able to get the exit polling right in two elections; showing how lamestream the media really is.
