What's Zogby up to?
To me, the answers lie with this guy. He has flat out said there are problems. I believe his own exit polling agreed in large part with other exit polls. He also seems less likely to buy into the coverup scenerio saying that it was not possible that the exit polls were rigged.

So, where is he? What is he saying and doing? Why aren't we banging down his door for answers?

1. He seems to be treading lightly.
Or at least politically correctly.

3. Do you mean what is he doing at the hearing? ;)
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 10:32 AM by LynzM
He was listed on the 'guest list' for the Conyers hearings, if I'm not mistaken. One of the threads about the hearings has the complete list, and he was on it.

ETA, here is that thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=203x127324

4. Treading lightly indeed.
I'm sure Zogby knows it was bad. I think he is probably afraid of setting off the Right Wing nut brigade alarm by indicating the possibility of malfeasance.

Nobody likes having the worst picture available of them flashed up on Drudge with a headline like, "ZOGBY CRAZY TALK."

He was quite clear in projecting Kerry as the winner, and Zogby is usually dead-on. That should tell people something.

8. Speaking out
A Zogby International representative appeared on the Rep Conyer's panel.

Check the transcript when it comes out.

Sorry, I cannot recall what she specifically said.

9. A rep from his company spoke early on in the Conyer's forum.
I was less than impressed. It seemed very wishy washy and looking forward to future elections rather than fixing this one too.
