See, when they run elections AND exit polls behind closed doors, which they do, not only do they get to win, they get to say WHY they won!

I think there were hundreds of flaws in that election if not thousands, plus documented illegalities, at a minimum violating the Civil Rights acts. My best guess is that Kerry won with 53% or 54% or more, but I can't prove that. None of us can.

Meanwhile, the dubious winners get to prance around and proclaim they won because they got the religious right to vote, or they got the people worried about moral values, or gee they just like George, or gosh, 41% voted that way because they liked Laura's hair (ok, I made the last one up).

It's all fiction, best I can tell. Spin, upon spin.

By the way, there is a polling organization run by a Leftie. They do traditional random sampling, but ask really interesting questions that the mainstream pollster never ask. And, they combine questions about one's level of being informed with one's views, and that makes for interesting reading. http://www.retropoll.org/
