Networks nervous over election night exit polls

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27012160/

"NEW YORK - Barack Obama’s tendency through the Democratic primaries to perform better in exit polls than he actually does at the ballot box has some media organizations nervous heading into Election Night.

Television networks want to avoid having their performance become an issue for the third straight presidential election. Their political experts hope that experience gained during the primaries will help things run smoothly Nov. 4.

ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and The Associated Press pool resources to conduct exit polls in select precincts, hoping to glean information about why people vote the way they do and to help predict a winner or loser. A combination of actual vote counts and exit polls is generally used to “call” a state for one candidate or another.

Exit polls frequently overstated Obama’s vote during the primaries by as much as 3 percentage points.

If it were the converse, I'd say they were setting up expectations for the election to be called for McBush -- and once someone says he (*choke*, *gag*) won, sad to say it's out there and taken as "proof". :puke:

But this way, the only benefit I can see for the corporate-controlled media and the rich and powerful who order them around is to set up great doubt and a pseudo-legitimate cause to protest against any win Sen. Obama may have; and to complain, nay freak out, about how unfair the whole system is and always against them.
And then they stamp their widdle tantrumy feet.

Them. Complain about unfairness.
Dear Lord!

...pardon me while I go worship the porcelain goddess for real, multiple :puke: icons just don't cut it for this piece of bizarro crapo.

1. There is no 'Bradley Effect'.

However, there is the 'Scared white men in power stole your vote.' effect.

3. Ah, so racism doesn't exist.

That those who THINK they're 'above all that', but when push comes to shove just can't get over their racism are merely a figment of our imagination!

Thanks for the info, replete with proof.

Do the whole country a favor and spread your omniscience, tell them all. Especially tell those who call Sen. Obama the N-word, clue in the KKK, the other varied supremacists and those who want to assassinate him because of his skin hue. :eyes: :banghead:

2. how likely do you all think it is that the presidency will be stolen from Obama? n/t

4. Don't know HOW likely it WILL be stolen

but there is NO doubt they certainly are TRYING.

Why? Witness the caging and other ratfucking to disqualify legal, legitimate DEMOCRATIC leaning voters the pukes are attempting, in every state of the Union.
And even though the past two presidential elections, along with the 2006 election, were statistically fucked up and ALL anomalies in favor of the GrOPer's -- what could possibly make anyone believe that they wouldn't try it again this time?
They suddenly got morals or a sense of fair play?
They suddenly came to the realization that one person should have their Constitutionally right to vote no matter who they'd vote for?
Even if they disagree with them?


Dude, it's already being done. They will try mightily.
You don't think so?

5. I still want to know why Ukrainian exit polls are trustworthy and ours aren't;

I mean, when the exit polls in the Ukranian 2004 election were at variance with the results, they had to to do the election over. But when the same thing happened here a couple of weeks earlier, it just meant people lie to exit pollsters. Yeah, that's the ticket.:eyes::eyes::eyes:

6. Awww... we're SPECIAL

short-bus special, those many creationist, speaking-in-tongues, witchfinding, anti-science, Jesus-on-a-Taco, flat-earther Americans.


You know and I know it's just a propaganda ploy... Exit Polls are perfectly respectable for OTHER countries, but they're inexplicably meaningless in the U.S.

but ONLY if they benefit the Repukes.

If the results benefit the Democrats -- well then, pure HELL will be raised!
