Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, November 03, 2008

Before the first polls close Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern, there's going to be a frantic search across news and political sites for leaked exit polls. This year, all people with access to exit poll data will reportedly be in a "quarantine room" until 5 p.m., according to AP, but leaks are likely. Where are you going to be looking for early exit polls?

of course you will

you are a liar

Oh I will Mr. Never seen Carnegie Hall.

Exit polling will be virtually meaningless in states with early voting.

And BLT2, you're such a tease.

You might want to check on that coal story again,now that's it's been debunked.

Here's a report you may find interesting,since you are so concerned about coal:

Video of a June 21, 2005 Senate floor debate between Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) and John McCain on legislation proposed by McCain to fight global warming has just surfaced. I'll post video within the next couple of hours, but for now, here's some text. Voinovich told McCain that his legislation would "put coal of out of business." McCain agreed that his legislation would "require sacrifice" acknowledging that critics said it would cost "thousands of jobs." Nonetheless, McCain (correctly) stood by his legislation, and even said that he wanted a tougher set of rules.

Here's more from Voinovich's statement:

On one side of this debate, there are proposals to create a mandatory domestic program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as the amendment that will be proposed by Senator McCain, to my understanding, and I strongly urge my colleagues to vote against this amendment.

It is my understanding that the amendment, according to Charles Rivers Associates, which analyzed its provisions, would cause the loss of 24,000 to 47,000 Ohio jobs, in 2010, and energy-intensive industries to shrink by 2.3 to 5.6 percent in 2020. We are talking about manufacturing industries, energy-intensive manufacturing and chemical and many others.

The McCain amendment will put coal out of business by forcing fuel switching to natural gas.

And John McCain's counter-argument:

Does it involve some sacrifice on the part of the American people? Yes. ... This amendment, I am sure, will be attacked--thousands of jobs will be lost, we will find some obscure scientist, some will talk about the dangers of encouraging the use of nuclear power. The fact is, we are going to win on this issue. The reason we are going to win is because every single month there is another manifestation of the terrible effects of what climate change is doing to our Earth.

The video coming soon.

Not much-the early voters voted heavily in favor of Obama, so exit polls won't say much about them.

irrelevant

haha

bl2

your love for bush is about to be irrelevant

you gop liar :-P

When asked, a lot of people (especially white people) will say that they voted for Obama but actually voted for McCain. Some whites, particularly southern, won't admit their closet racism. John Murtha was mocked for having the courage to admit that people in his Western PA district are racist. Expect Obama to trail by 5-7% below his exit poll numbers.

You might want to check on that coal story again,now that's it's been debunked.

How can you debunk something that is true. You libs have some strange definitions. Just like Obama did about every other neg story that came out about him, you can hide it, lie about it, dance around it or twist it but the truth can't be debunked.

I want the exit polls to tell me why Mccadaver spent so much time in NH for four lousy EVs when he was already double digits down..
Do they have his strawberries hidden there?

"why Mccadaver spent so much time in NH for four lousy EVs when he was already double digits down.."

Getting a jump on 2012.

exit polls are off by up to 10%. All it does is get people pissed off. Just ask the Kerry and Gore supporters.

"Expect Obama to trail by 5-7% below his exit poll numbers."

Especially in states with electronic voting and no paper trail. herm

"... exit polls are off by up to 10%. ... Just ask the Kerry and Gore supporters."

Exit polls don't lie. States with electronic voting and no paper trail do. herm

leaks are likely.

Tha's okay, McAncient will be wearing his Depends.

Sorry? Ohhhhh, THAT typa leak.

Sorry, Spud was speed reading agin.

/Damn you, Evelyn Wood!

Where are you going to be looking for early exit polls?

Ummm, pretty much everywhere in blogworld cos that's where the leak'll show first and then maybe get picked up by the MSM soonish aftertwords.

so call me anything you want

-BLaTtercontrol-issues too

Um, okay, yer a willfully ignorant, factually challenged, morally soul-dead POS who lives in a racist state fulla anti-intellectual cuzzin-kissing Rtards like yerself.

Boy Herm I thought Larry was a jackass

I think anyone can see where problems arise with exit polling you ask a small sample heavily waited with democrats because they are more willing to be polled upon exiting the voting site and then sit back and wonder why they are wrong. According to your logic we should not count the votes just ask a few people how they voted and go with that.

"...ask a small sample heavily waited with democrats because they are more willing to be polled ..."

This JSL is has the gall to accuse ME of jackassery and then write THIS! waity crap. herm

Exit polls are meaningless drivel the media hypes to get viewers/listeners. The only thing that matters is the final results and if the pundits are right that it's either gonna be 0bama or McCain it sure ain't gonna be good for my hypertension.

Exit polls are fairly reliable and not outside a error margin of + - 5%. But then since not thousands are taken in any given state they represent only a trend within a given timeslot.
