So now they're pushing exit polls?!
According to Howie (I'm under investigation) Kurtz....there's a polling company for the major networks that is asking a question that push polls people.....and it's about Dean of course (hey boy that media sure loves 'em!)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/nation/columns/kurtzhoward/?nav=hptop_ts

"The New Hampshire exit poll that the major networks are using today asks mostly straightforward questions: Are you male or female; white, black or Hispanic; liberal, moderate or conservative? Who did you vote for? When did you decide? Did you pick your candidate because you think he can defeat George Bush or because he agrees with you on the major issues?

But on one of the two questionnaires being used, there's this zinger: "Regardless of how you voted today, do you think Howard Dean has the temperament to serve effectively as president?"

That, of course, raises the possibility that he might not, and the results could be cited endlessly in the primary coverage.

No other question asks for voters' views on Kerry, Edwards, Clark or any other candidate."


Look at how they will use this question to undermine any performance by Dean tonight!!!!!!!
