« 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.

I would say knockoff Spanish Fly, but that's just me.

Nearly one thousand Roman silver denari found in woods near Cologne, Germany, probably deliberately buried in 125 AD
It's about seven pounds of ancient silver. Alas, it's not an artifact of the massacre of the XIXth Legion at Teutonburg Forest, which is about a hundred and fifthy miles away.

Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?

Oh here it comes
That funny feeling again winding me up inside Every time we touch
Hey I don't know
Oh, tell me where to begin cause I never ever
Felt so much

Okay, that was pretty easy. Here's one that's 3% harder. But still easy.
Ooh, can you feel the static?
So many contacts being made
We've got up-front fanatics
Tearing down the barricade
To reach the stage
Can you feel the rage?
