It has pretty much been proven by some of the people studying the fraud of this last election against Zogby's odd poll numbers that differed with everyone else.

Battleground just doesn't make mistakes like that but then who would have thought 110% would vote in some precincts either.

Zogby has never been able to defend them either because no one else picked up on such a large shift. They tried to blame it on the Dui that was brought out but that didn't track in exit polling. They were doing everything possible to give themselves cover. And Zogby was right there!

I don't doubt that Zogby got inside dope from the Dems, particularly his brother.

I think he was given a heads-up on the DUI smear, which had the effect of a double play. It kept a portion of the Christian Right voters home, and it pulled a portion of swing voters to Gore.

Add in the fraud in certain big cities (Detroit, St. Louis, Palm Beach County, Philly), and there it was, a clear but close win.

However, Murphy snuck in and gave the Dems a surprise. The source of the DUI story got out, and it limited the effects of the DUI story. People could tell it was a smear, and that turned enough off to Gore that they sat at home or voted for Bush.

Hence, the razor-close win.
