Check those exit polls the Republicans are touting. Check them hard.

When asked "Bush-Era Tax Cuts Should Be Continued For..." here is how the 17,504 respondents answered:

39% said "All Americans"
37% said "Families Under $250,000"
15% said "No One"

At first, it looks like "All Americans" wins. But if you add the other two responses, you get 52% of respondents favoring the expiration of the tax cuts for families making more than $250,000. And with a 9% no response rate, the number is likely a little higher.

That's the talking point...the "will of the people" as Boner likes to say. I've emailed it to my Senator and Rep., I encourage everyone to do the same.
