Will the exit polls prove accurate, in line with actual results?

1. It's only a matter of how far the Pukes can cheat without getting caught.

[Tiggeroshii]

3. Well except the polls haven't closed yet

most of them don't close for another hour or so. That coan significantly change the results, anyways.

11. If they stretch these exit polls into a win for them, they're caught

14. Damn Straight!

We could all learn a thing or two from the courage of the Ukranian people. Should they try to pull the trademarked GOP shenanigans this time around, I'll be in D.C. by this weekend.

2. Not if they use Rove's entitled math.

Remember the exits were all showing Kerry winning until Rove applied his exits and the networks went with them.

6. hmmmm

They were had Kerry winning by like 50-50 though, my wisdom is to take 2-3 off to the neo-clowns. That locks up 49 for us. Virginia will still come down to the wire. If we lose anything outside of the three point range....I would say it was clear that the polls were manipulated, anything over 5 and I would say that they were manufactured...

4. To be frank, I don't believe in exit polls

People here are urged to either refuse to talk or lie to the pollsters. I think they aren't accurate anymore like they were years ago. Remember what they were in Venezuela and Chavez won anyway.

7. Oh those Venezuelan polls were skewed by intent.

They were total right-wing outfits that wanted to lay bases for "vote fraud" charges against Chavez.

8. What did the exit polls say in Venezuela?

[Selatius]

12. They said he won the recall referendum. Then...

they were backed up by the Carter Center, poll monitors from the OAS, and poll monitors from the EU. It was one of the most heavily monitored elections in Latin American history.

5. Depends

on if the Republicans are ahead or not.

[Tiggeroshii]

10. according to exit polls, they aren't

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. So

you're saying that if the polls show the dems are ahead, then the repubs are really ahead; and if the polls show that the repubs are ahead, it's accurate?

:rofl:

[Giant Robot]

18. Uhh

I hope you're joking. I was saying if the Democrats are ahead that will probably be accurate but the Republicans will still end up "winning" because of that special relationship they have with Diebold.

9. Before or after they have been "fixed"?
