Exit polls are wrong Following Hillary’s win, the lefties start another conspiracy theory. They never learn. Florida 2000: But he must have won: The exit polls showed him ahead. Something is afoot. Ohio 2004: But he must have won: The exit polls showed him ahead. Something is afoot. New Hampshire 2008 But he must have won: The exit polls showed him ahead. Something is afoot. What is afoot is that thing at the end of your aleg. Oh something is wrong here all right: The exit polls. Asking a few people how they voted could tell you a lot about how all the people voted. But actually counting how those people voted is even better. I have noticed over the years, exit polls skew left. Maybe it is because conservatives lie. Maybe because the poll takers are libs. Maybe because of global warming. Who knows? Who cares? That’s what I have observed. They also tend to exaggerate the late polls. If a candidate has moved up in the last few days, the exit polls will bump him higher — and everyone will accept it as reflecting a late surge or momentum. But late polls do not measure GOTV. And libs are lousy at it. Bush had a good GOTV — get out the vote — campaign in Florida in 2000, which won him the state by 537 votes. A media recount announced a year later had the margin at 493. Bush’s GOTV won Ohio in 2004. And Hillary’s GOTV won New Hampshire on Tuesday. Instead of going out and building a GOTV of their own, libs concoct a waste-of-time conspiracy. Via the Brad Blog we get this from Chris Matthews: “So what accounts for Hillary Clinton’s victory in New Hampshire? What we don’t know is why the victory is so much different in fact, then the polling ahead of time, including what we call the Exit Polls were telling us. Obama was ahead in those polls by an average of 8 points, and even our own Exit Polls, taken as people came out of voting, showed him ahead. So what’s going on here?” What’s going on is ring-ring, bring-bring. I’ll make this so simple that a liberal can understand it: You call up potential voters, ask if they need a ride and then — pay attention closely — you drive that voter to the polls and then you drive her back. Voila! That gets you a vote. You do that another 10,000 times, that gets you 10,000 votes. Hey, 1,000 volunteers can do that in an hour or 2 and still have time for a few hours of EverQuest. There are other aspects as well, but why bother explaining? Many libs prefer to buy another box of tinfoil and run around complaining. Knock yourselves out, say I. blogs.dailymail.com
