I'm kind of sorry of wasting one of my 3 threads to say this, but here I go |

LEAKED EXIT POLLS ARE CRAP AND WORTHLESS!!!!
It's been proved time and time again that they are not any kind of predictor of the final result. I've been letdown one too many times (remember Kerry in 2004?) so I've learned my lesson.
I support Obama and some of these polls sound great, but let's not get carried away on such unreliable data - we're just a few hours away from learning the only poll that counts, so relax, chill and may the best candidate win!

REMEMBER 2004 REMEMBER 2004 REMEMBER 2004 REMEMBER 2004 REMEMBER 2004
We can wait two more hours, and hours after that. I think this thing will be a nailbiter.

5. I remember 2004 all too well. |
|
So which was fixed - the exit polls or the election?

6. Well, I think the exits were flawed.... |
|
... but Ohio was the fix, sadly.
Allowing those 2004 Exits to leak around 2:00 pm kicked the Ohio Fix into gear. Clermont County Shenanigans, for one.
Wait, everyone! And if you're an Obama supporter phonebanking Wisconsin, don't stop! Just under two more hours until polls closed. BARACK THE VOTE!

8. The exit polls were probably right, according to several statisticians. The election was fixed. |

4. It's the instant gratification mentality that have promoted so many elections to be |
|
subverted and certified prematurely.
Chill
Okay. . .?
Hope the election officials do too despite those nefarious machines.
