Grand theft Mexico

As in Florida in 2000, and as in Ohio in 2004, the exit polls show the voters voted for the progressive candidate. The race is "officially" too close to call. But they will call it - after they steal it.

Reuters reports that, as of 8pm eastern time, as voting concluded in Mexico, exit polls showed Andrés Manuel López Obrador of the "leftwing" party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) leading in exit polls over Felipe Calderón of the ruling conservative National Action party (PAN).

We've said again and again: exit polls tell us how voters say they voted, but the voters can't tell pollsters whether their vote will be counted. In Mexico, counting the vote is an art, not a science - and Calderón's ruling crew is very artful indeed. The PAN-controlled official electoral commission, not surprisingly, has announced that the presidential tally is too close to call

I always lie to people doing these exit polls.

Yes, we always elect candidates based on exit polling not by actual VOTES.

Palast wrote this article even before the polls closed. He made sure this would be printed if Calderon won.

The al Gaurdian is not happy!

Groan!
Not more BS from The 'Assassinate President Bush" Guardian again.
When is The Guardian going to simply get to their one true destination in life, and officially become part of the Daily Kos moonbat site?
Don't see any difference between them right now.

DUmmie Implosion Alert!

The only exit poll that I saw that had Obrador winning was the one from the PRD itself all of the others said Calderon

I've only seen the same thing.

Calderon's PAN lead has been at 1% (+/-.25%) over the PRI since about 65% of the vote was reported. Calderon will win by that margin, unless there's massive Obrador PRD voter fraud. Over 98% of the vote is in, and the PRD would need to win practically all of the expected outstanding votes in order to win the election. What vote is out is predominantly from PAN-friendly NW Mexico. And the number of expected votes hasn't been matching the actual votes as it comes in because it seems that extremely rural or otherwise small precincts are the only ones left to be counted.

Have you guys seen Rove lately? He's growing a handlebar mustache. I think he wants to look the part when he ties Hillary to the train tracks then runs of giggling.

Señor Alberto Gore is getting snippy.

The Mexican Al Gore is a cactus in a sombrero instead of a tree.

If Palast is pissed off it must be good news!

[TexasTransplant]

If you don't lie to the exit polls you could hurt the candidate that you voted for.

Besides I love to return the favor to the Press any time I can.

TT

Que lastima. El senor Daschle es muy triste.

Stealing the elections that American Democrats don't want to steal.

[A message]

In an article posted shortly after this one a BBC study states;

Paranoia, a widespread problem

"One in three people in the UK regularly suffers paranoid or suspicious fears,"

"They found levels of paranoia were much higher than previously suspected"

And they must all read the Guardian.

Investigate Diebold! Indict Halliburton! Arrest Jose Cuervo!

Knowing the Dummie, Koskid warped rhetoric, don't be surprised if they say Karl Rove spiked all the worms they eat from tequila bottles.
