How is the exit polling data being held back?
It certainly can be believed that for various reasons, Mitofsky and a certain subset of his clients have decided not to release the raw exit polling data from 11/2.

But how is it possible that ALL organizations in possession of this information have unanimously agreed to withold it? Isn't there one single subscriber who would be willing to release this information that is so potentially important? What about NPR, for example?

Are even Arnebeck, the Glibs, and the Kerry legal team unable to get this information from any source?

It seems a bit surreal to me.

1. Given the concerns of election fraud by about 1/2 of the population.
Why hasn't any national polling organization or news media commission a poll to ask the voter directly how he voted? I find that quite odd.

Questions for the Democratic leadership-

(1) Why didn't you subscribe to the exit polling data directly, instead of allowing the Republican corporate news media to feed it to you?

(2) Why aren't you conducting a massive national polling to see if this election was stolen, in a method independent of the Republican corporate media's control?

3. It will EVENTUALLY be made public
They won't be able to keep all this data under wraps forever, because that would just fuel speculation.

They WILL release the data...

1. After the January 6 acceptance of the electoral college votes,
2. After the Inauguration
3. During a particularly distracting "news cycle" as part of a large "dump." That is, when something REALLY big happens (like the recent Tsunami) AFTER 1 & 2 above, they will release this info. In that way, nobody will notice, and nobody will have time to "study" it and it will disappear into the ether.

Ladies and Germs, in the words of a much younger me...

"You've been had."

2. they had a single spokesperson respond to Conyers
conyers sent a letter to all the TV networks individually. Mysteriously, they responded through a single spokesperson who denied the request for the data.

surreal? perhaps.

true? yes.
