The polling was not necessarily wrong. But, I'd bet my 401(k) that it was delivered incorrectly on purpose by the obaMEDIA in an attempt to bring out more liberal voters right up to the time the polls closed.

Once I realized that most polls are designed to shape public opinion, I started lying to pollsters.

This sounds suspiciously like what Roger Simon wrote late last night:

Return of the Bradley Effect: What if ALL the Polls Are Wrong?

Every time I read something from Rush, I can’t help but imagine it being said in his voice.

If they find out your voting for Romney you may get killed.

I remember in 2008 I was surrounded by African thugs yelling “Obama - Obama - Obama”, like a tribal chant when they saw the McNasty bumper sticker.

I'll be carrying some Louisville wood in the car from July to February. I have a feeling they wont be satisfied chanting this year.

I suspect a significant percentage of people lie to pollsters--particularly exit pollsters, because it is intimidatory in some neighborhoods to even be questioned about how you voted, and somewhat impertinent, anyway.

Maybe the best course, if some clown approaches you as an exit pollster, is that you call for the Police. That might inhibit the practice, which only serves to allow the news media to shape what people are talking about--to make news rather than actually report it.

OK he has an excellent point about exit polls but there’s two things I don’t understand:

1. If networks were relying on the exit polls, why did they expect to be able to call the race at 10 p.m.? If the exit polls were right, it was going to be a very long night.

2. All his points about exit polls being inaccurate are very good. Especially important is that the same exit polls Obama folks are touting today were so flawed in predicting the actual vote result.

However, the regular polling, on average, got the race pretty much right. I think the RCP average yesterday was +6, pretty close to the actual result. So the exit polls vs. actual results don’t speak to any problem with regular polls, although regular polls may have other flaws.

King David and Jesus both came from....Jerusalem.

The accused and his attorney in court are....the defendant.(Answer had to have three "E's" as in "defense")

Again needs 3 E's...selected from a larger work...What is annotated....should have been "excerpted."

We need to make this a national Conservative Movement. LIE to the polls! I will always flat out LIE to any exit poll I might be a part of. Phone polls, if its Gallup, PU, et all, I'll lie to them too.

I remember 2006 when Pelosi won, I was at the polling station and outside democrats were in my face telling me to vote democrat. I told them I would so they wouldn’t slash my tires while I voted.

Imagine telling a black man outside the voting booth that your not going to vote for Obama. And then you have to walk to your car, alone? NO THANKS.

I do the same thing. As I read it I could hear his words as if I was listening to him on the radio.

My boys go to a small private school in Oakland, I have the same sinking feeling you do re: next november. If Romney wins, there will be rioting in the streets.
