    Exit polls on the past had been amazingly accurate. Now I cannot trust them. In 2000 and 2004 I went to bed thinking things went one way and they did not. Shocked!!

    So I am on here and will wait to hear the real results later.

    that's where you and i differ.. i don't think it was the exit polls that were off, but rather the actual votes counted that were skewed.

    for example, in 04 when you have multiple districts in florida where 70-80% of registered voters are democrats, and exit polls depicting the expected kerry win, but bush ends up getting 70% of the vote.. something's fishy.

    what makes it even more fishy, is the fact that these types of discrepencies occured in districts using e-voting machines. in other districts where paper ballots were used, and where the dem to rep ratio was the same as above, the exit polls and final vote tallies were for kerry as expected.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    Oh...we don't differ, that was kinda my point.
    Exit polls have been very accurate in the past and they are trying to sell us that they weren't those times.
    I do think they were accurate too and that things went very fishy. I was shocked in the morn both times.
