15. the response - a breakdown
The leaked numbers were not our best estimates as of the time they were leaked. The leakers had no idea what they were passing along and the bloggers had no idea what they were getting.

A classic re-framing of the issue in true Rush Limbaugh style. What is called into question includes numbers published by CNN up until the wee hours of the morning of November 3.


The proof of what I am saying is that neither Edison/Mitofsky nor any of the members made any mistakes in projecting winners AFTER the polls closed based on these same exit polls.

Gee, is it possible that had something to do with the direct feed from actual vote tabulations and that no close states were called at all without first consulting those?


Only the morons who leaked the erroneous numbers and the bloggers were misled.

Still talking about unpublished data and refusing to acknowledge that published data at legitimate sources is in question. Naturally he completely ignored the suggestion that even Karen Hughes trusted the information.


What is it that makes you think these same people would know how to interpret raw numbers?

What is it that makes him think there would be a problem if someone else got the chance?


This guy is transparent
