The Exit Poll Gender Demographic: Another Smoking Gun?

[TruthIsAll]

Remember that stuff about how early women voters jacked up the
Kerry exit poll numbers?

And remember the argument that Exit Polls have a high MoE?

Let's proceed to demolish those two canards.

At 3:59pm, the first 8349 exit poll respondents were split 58%
female/42% male. And Kerry led the exit poll by 3%. 

So that's why the exit polls were out of whack and Kerry was
leading, right?
Wrong.

The split turned to 54/46  at 7:33pm, after 2629 additional
respondents, bringing the total to 10978.
And Kerry still led the exit poll by 3%.

The split was still 54/46  at 12.22am, after 2069 additional
respondents, bringing the total to 13047.
And Kerry still led the exit poll by 3%.

The split was still 54/46 at 2.05pm, after just 613 additional
respondents, bringing the final total to 13660.
And Kerry lost the exit poll by 3%.

And remember that other stuff about the high MoE in Exit
polls?

Well, Mitofsky's own table shows an MoE of 1% for samples over
8,000.

Guess what? The 1% MoE applied, even at the 3:59pm sample of
8349. Kerry's 3% lead was beyond the MoE right up until the
last 613 respondents.

So much for those two MSM/naysayer talking points.
