Today's Exit Polls Differ Drastically from Actual Results! (Fox News reports)
FoxNews | 11/04/2008 | RightFighter

Posted on 11/04/2008 6:05:36 PM PST by RightFighter

Someone on Fox News (Jim Engle, I think) was just on saying that they are seeing a large amount of "WPE" (Within Precinct Error) in the exit polling, meaning that the actual results reported by the precincts are much lower for Obama than the results that the exit pollsters gathered. In Pennsylvania, I think he said that this number was 10.4%, meaning that Obama was exit polling 10.4% better than the actual results being reported.

In Florida, they reported that it was a difference of 3.4 or 3.9%. Also significant in NC, VA, and other places.

Why is FOX calling MI for Obama when it’s 50% Obama & 49% McCain?

Maybe they will learn next time, if The Chosen one allows them to make another choice for themselves that is.

It’s gonna be an ugly 4 years, but the good thing is that after this, the democratic party is doomed. Republicans could run Mickey Mouse and they would win.
With their choices lately, they probably WILL run Mickey come to think of it ....

You are assuming the people who voted for the Liberal Messiah will smarten-up by 2012. I hope you are right. A clue will be the 2010 Congressional elections.

>>>You are assuming the people who voted for the Liberal Messiah will smarten-up by 2012. I hope you are right. A clue will be the 2010 Congressional elections.<<<

2 years of a democratic congress, senate and president all VERY liberal, they will lose control of the markets fast. Get ready for a rough ride .. perhaps worse than the great depression. When it happens .. then they will smarten up.
Do you really think that it will take these idiots more than 2 years to screw us up bad? I sure don’t. I just hope that they don’t do so much damage that we can’t recover from it.

This election is the rope of the democratic party that they will hang themselves with.
