“The problems were more serious in 2000, when networks prematurely “called” Florida, and thus the election, for George Bush. It led to a congressional investigation into their practices.”
Do what?? Tell me I’m misunderstanding this statement. The networks I was watching called Florida for Gore, based on the polls in the Eastern Time Zone closing at 7:00 p.m. They HAD NOT closed in Florida’s panhandle, which is in the Central Time Zone, and therefore MANY people heard Gore had won Florida and turned around and went home, without voting at all. I certainly hope that will NOT happen this time around.
Oh bull crap they aren’t nervous.
They are in the tank, and are just trying to find a way to call it for Hussein and end it all.
We are in for a long four years if McCain doesn’t get some testicles.
No problem: just call Florida for Obama early so Palin supporters will go home.
MSNBC is not a credible news source.
Here’s an idea - how about using the actual vote totals?
Zogby’s special sauce, the favorite drunk of media shills everywhere.
They tried to steal an election in 2004 by cooking the exit poll figures that were being cited throughout the day.
Watch out, in particular, for an early call on VA and NC that will later prove to be wrong.
I wish they would all just keep their mouths shut. Living on the West coast it is so irritating to hear them call the election and we haven’t even had a chance to vote yet! Now that has never stopped me from voting but some people turn around and go home.
CYA one month before the elections????
But yet these same idiots like Chuck Todd are coming out on TV and telling us the polls they are taking right now essentially telling us it’s over.
The media and their schools that teach these Dolts are full of it!!!!!!!!!!!!
The exit polls will be way off this year with the Obama people focusing on early voting in the key states. So be warned if they show McCain up big in some areas only to find it be way closer.
If the pollsters are playing games, they are playing with fire. If we go into Election Day with Obama up, even if it’s by a point or two and he ends up losing, there will be race riots. This could erupt into a civil war. It could be Florida 2000 times 1,000.
Blacks have been propagandized into thinking the voting system is corrupt and they will believe that the election was stolen from Obama.
My hope is that if McCain wins, it’s by a comfortable margin so this would be avoided. If it’s a squeaker, watch out.
The McCain campaign 2 - 3 days before the election need to tell everyone not to worry about the exit polls and understand what happened in 2000 and 2004.
Rats still can’t add.
Mr. McCain is leading with men, seniors and tied with women. Yet nobama is winning. Okay....
Maybe embalmers and escargot growers will put nobama over the top.
I’ll be watching Michael Barone and Karl Rove on Fox. These guys know their stuff.
You know if El Rushbo cares to this would make a grand finale for Operation Chaos. Have the faithful ( us ) tell exit pollsters we voted for obama.
The “BRADLEY EFFECT” in the Democrat Party rank and file will blow the MSM away. You heard it hear first.
