The FACTS that arise from the study of Bush's 16 states "magic"

[RaulVB]

This based on TIA's tread, a great one, indeed.bb

Once again we are missing the obvious there. I am not a mathematician, so I will not pretend to explain the oddities of exit polling contradicting electoral results.

To the best of my knowledge, that only happens in the US and Ukraine.

But let's review the night of November 2nd once again:

- At 5 PM Zogby declares Kerry the likely winner with 311 electoral votes

- CNN's Novak says that Republicans are worried about Ohio and Florida.

- National Review's Goldberg says that Florida is not "looking good..."

- Karen Hughes warns Bush about a possible defeat.

- Rove "gets mad" and says that "his" numbers are the good ones.

- Bush shows up in ABC to portray he is calm and confident.

- CNN's and AP poll numbers are modified

- In some Ohio counties a "glitch" gives thousands of extra votes to Cobb and Badnarik. Later "fixed" the same night.

- FOX called it for Bush in Ohio. The first and only network to dare doing that.

- Rove's numbers are used for the MSM to celebrate and join with Bush in declaring hia "victory."

That's a brief summary of the playbook they used to steal the election.

1. It was definitely bizzaroland.

All I know is that I left to pick up my son at 4:45 P.M. PST on 11/2/04 and Wolf Blitzer showed Kerry winning in 8 states and tied with shrub in another. He projected Kerry the winner.

And when we got home at 5:15 P.M., it all fell to shit.

Don't let anyone tell you exit polling is flawed. Exit polling only became flawed in 2000 when Florida was called for Gore.

And then in 2002, 6 or 7 senate seats were magically "won" by Republicans in magical overnight 15-point swings in their favor. The ever-compliant medial conglomeration, VNS, were conveniently "unavailable" the day before the election so as not to poke a hold in the fraud.

And what pisses me off endlessly right now is the media blackout. Not a work about the Ohio recount. Very infrequently I hear a scattered blurb attempting to poo-poo "conspiracy theories." The media has given BushCo a get out of jail free card.

2. Yep, excellent work.

One detail to include is that EVERY EXIT POLLSTER showed Kerry with a lead in Ohio and New Mexico.
