« 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.

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
