Why are we the only country where exit polls don't work?
You keep reading about elections in Europe, Middle East, etc.. and they all pronounce the initial results based on exit polls....

It's frustrating how obvious this is, at least to me :-)

5. Because.....
... Right Wing voters are extremely shy, quiet and timid people.

They are so demure in fact, that the poll takers simply couldn't hear anything they said!!


At least that's what I heard.
