RW 2 release demoralizing leaks early 2 suppress Dem Voters
Edited on Tue Feb-03-04 03:41 PM by xultar
to screw with the campaign of the candidates they fear the most (CLARK)

Think DRUDGE - NATIONAL REVIEW early exit polls!

WHAT TO WATCH FOR ON ELECTION DAY

Standard operating procedure for the Republican Mean Machine on election day is to release demoralizing leaks midday to try and suppress the voting for those they are against.

Usually this begins with Drudge posting supposed info from a supposed insider, and then Zogby hits the air and starts hinting - not so subtly - that things are drastically going the way they want them to go.

They usually turn up the heat later in the day by, usually around 4PM or so, having first Drudge than others flat out say it is a done deal for their guy before the evening voting starts.

SOUND FAMILIAR??? DRUDGE????

2. I think they may be accurate though...
Their aim may be to suppress turnout, but it is more likely that they are indeed leaked exit polls.

5. This rots
& everyone is going along with it.

They are using Drudge, Nat'l Review, & Fox as their sources, & being played like violins.

And if you point this out, it is sour grapes.
