Any OTHER exit polls about Prop 8 in California out there that we could compare to CNN's?
Their figures just seem weird, more and more as I think of it.

1)Why would there be exit poll data for African American women, but NONE for African American men?
2)If there had been massive AA opposition to Prop. 8, wouldn't we have seen some signs of it BEFORE the election? And why would it be so high among AA WOMEN in particular?

I'm wondering more and more if this "exit poll" was some sort of a sabotage effort meant to create a new wedge between AA voters and the LGBT community. Something's just not right about what we're seeing?

I hope there's some means of doing research on this before things get really ugly out in Cali.

1. there is a really important piece of DATA 3 million uncounted votes left to count!
most of them in urban areas, and hafl of those are young first time voters!
with a margin of 400,000 votes and 3 million left to count, I would keep my eyes on the ballots instead of "why we lost".
This reminds me of 2000-and 2004. COUNT THE VOTES BEFORE CONCEDING PEOPLE!

2. You're right, of course. I'm just trying to get people to step back from
a flame war that may be based on totally bogus polling information.

It is still possible that 8 could lose.

3. That's what I said.


Several million uncounted votes could swing this thing.

5. When you say "we can't hear you", you're supposed to follow that by saying "lalalalalala"
n/t.

6. I was also wondering if they're any other exit polls. The CNN poll seems to be the only one out.
