I agree that exit polling is not an exact science. But for every exit poll in Ohio to be skewed in a the same direction is one hell of a statistical feat. I'm talking about the result of the polling when the polls closed, so that samples were collected throughout the day. Yes there were fluctuations through te day as well...but when the polls closed the exit polls had kerry leading. The vote tally had Bush winning and the margins were approximately the same across the board. One would expect some scatter of the results with a poll that Kerry won being offset by a Bush win, and a poll that Bush won being offset by a kerry win. But what happened is an across the board shift to Bush. Folks that study stats say that's a 1 in 250,000 chance of it happening like that. That bears looking into further don't you agree? Orca
