Bush's 'Incredible' Vote Tallies
By Sam Parry, Consortium News

(begin snip)

Republican pollster Dick Morris said the Election Night pattern of mistaken exit polls favoring Kerry in six battleground states - Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada and Iowa - was virtually inconceivable.

"Exit polls are almost never wrong," Morris wrote. "So reliable are the surveys that actually tap voters as they leave the polling places that they are used as guides to the relative honesty of elections in Third World countries. … To screw up one exit poll is unheard of. To miss six of them is incredible. It boggles the imagination how pollsters could be that incompetent and invites speculation that more than honest error was at play here."

1. Riiiiight, Dick.
Since the liberal conspirators "knew" we were losing Florida and Ohio, they made up bogus exit polls showing Kerry in the lead so that people in the west who wanted Bush wouldn't vote.

And that strategy would win us exactly WHICH western states that we weren't going to win already?? Utah, which went something like 80-20 for *?

That is one stupid toe-sucker.

2. Yes, but then Morris spins it to imply that the exit polls were fraudulent
You know, in case the numbers jumped up post-election to bite them where it hurts. Like now. ;)
