« Big Bias Towards Women in Early Voting/Exit Polling? | Main | Kerry's Ahead-- But, Sadly For Him, Not Ahead Enough, Given the 59-41 F/M Split »
November 02, 2004

Early Exit Polls in 2000 had many omissions and contained much that was apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate

Makes the good point that similar numbers in 2000 had Bush tied in Colorado.

He won by nine freaking points.

So: Don't Panic.

On the other hand, vote like you're panicking. Vote like a coked-up gibbon who overdosed on knockoff Mexican Viagra and who just scented a female in estrus.

Maybe we should come up a drinking game for tonight.

Everytime someone says "Record Turnout" you drink.

Everytime a Kerry or Bush mouthpiece says "We're optomistic" you drink.

Everytime anyone says "Battleground state" you drink.

Everytime someone says "Too close to call" you drink.

Etc, etc, you get the picture. Basically, I'm just looking for an excuse to get drunk on Pinot Noir.

The NRO caused panic may or may not be a serious problem. My optimistic side says all devoted blog readers have already voted, and the other 99% of the voting population doesn't have a clue about these numbers. But it sure looks like The Corner got played for fools on this one. Idiots.

From the 'For what its worth department.' I live in a suburb of NYC, where people commute to the city (a lot of wall street types)

After voting, I asked the poll worker how was the turnout. He said higher than normal. But he added, the surge comes once the trains come back in the afternoon.

While I was there, I saw women, children and the retired.

As Kash Patel takes over as FBI head, unpardoned election-rigger Peter Strzok deletes his entire twitter history
My speculation: what he's really deleting are his DMs, which probably feature a fair few Deep State operatives coordinating with him. Don't worry, Elon Musk will resurrect those DMs.
Dick Durbin says Patel is a rilly bad guy, you guys
I prefer the heat. I can always wear shorts and flip-flops if it gets hot. But when it's below freezing it's not like I can just put pants on.

More fraudulent journalism at CBS: 60 Minutes interviewed two people who lost their jobs as a result of DOGE overhauling USAID. Kristina Drye & Adam Dubard emoted on behalf of thousands of USAID employees who have been terminated, but neither Kristina nor Adam was actually an employee of USAID. Clever word parsing and dishonest editing conveyed otherwise. [Buck]

Axios focus group: 11 out of 11 swing voters support Trump and Musk's actions, particularly their cuts to the federal budget
Axios notes that voters aren't buying the newest Dem op, which claims that the 100-billionaire Musk spent millions to get Trump elected so that he could raid the Social Security office and steal $700 checks from grandmas. For some reason!

Update: Trump pummels a female CNN reporter who sounds like Barbra-Streisand-nosed Kaitlin Collins
Her "question" -- her declaration thinly disguised as a question -- is that Russia could just withdraw its troops from Ukraine, so why do we need peace negotiations? Well, Genius, because armies that are winning do not just walk away without getting the losing army to give them something. It's so f***ing stupid. I think they're all autistic.
Maxine Waters explains why she doesn't want Musk auditing the Grifter Government: "We don't know what they have on us"
