10. The fix was in.
Edited on Fri Jan-14-05 02:08 PM by iconoclastNYC
I think that there was an agreement between the pollsters, and the candidates and the media that no matter what, we would KNOW who won the night of the election. UNLIKE 2000 we are at war, and we can not endure another 30 day period of uncertainty.

And so that's why you had new procedures for including poll results in the final exit polls. And it made it all the easier to hide the last minute padding of the votes.

The MSM and the pollsters are hiding the conspiracy to put electoral certainty over true democracy.

How many pundits did you here before the election say they didn't care who won just as long as it was a certain victory. I think that's how they could justify going along with it. Because uncertainty would mean weakness and damage national security/ the war on terror.
