Steyn got the early VNS reports 100% wrong!! The reports were accurate from the first moment and showed the good guys winning in a landslide over the anti-American commies. The media could not afford to speak of this for fear of stampeding the very shallow, love-to-back-a-winner Californians into a major dump Blackout Davis drive. It was either lie and abort or report facts and scuttle west coast commies and, naturally, the ultra-left wing media protected Davis.

It wasn't reporting wrong information about the good guys losing, they feared reporting the truth about the leftists and what that would do to the elections in the west.

That's right about the good guys winning. I don't know if they feared affecting the west or they just couldn't believe their eyes. The software had to be messed up. NOT!

Okay, now I have heard this story both ways, and I would dearly love to know which version is right. My cynical guess is that Tacis has it correct. It makes more sense. Why would VNS NOT go with the "Republicans are losing everywhere," version if that was really what their exit polls were telling them (and how could their exit polls have been telling them so wrong)? Does anyone know for sure just what they were getting from their pollsters outside of polling places?

That is the first I've heard of this. If this can be documented, it could be a great thing to reveal. And it should be publicized to the mountains. But of course, the "media" would try to attenuate it .
