Interesting. Shortly after the election, Neal Boortz interviewed Dick Morris, who said that in his 30 years of experience, exit polls have been reliable; in fact, they have used exit polls to help validate elections in other countries. However, he said that this one was suspicious. He postulated that the Kerry campaign may have found out, in advance, where exit polling was being done, and then encouraged Democratic voters who were registered at those precincts to show up at that time and to be sure to participate in the exit poll. Then the poll info was leaked to left-wing bloggers. The aim was to skew the early vote toward Kerry in the hope of discouraging Republican voter turnout in places farther west, as news of the impending Kerry "victory" leaked out.

Now the DUmmies are freaking out because they believed that stuff. I'm sure they're debunking the results of this investigation as I type this.

I read something similar that exit pollsters would be at a particular precinct between certain times and emails were sent to get people to the polls to vote and be interviewed. I can't remember where it was that I read it.

Naahhh!:)

Morris was most probably right. The cruel joke on blue voters was that instead of the leaked early exit polls discouraging red voters, it seemed to energize them. And all the liberal wailing and mock-suicidial crying we've heard since Nov. 2 has been in part due to their ecstatic raised hopes on that Tuesday morning and afternoon, only to be shattered by the following Wednesday morning.

Reality's a b*tch, and those false exit polls really crushed a lot of liberals.
