Cuchulain will have a heart attack over this. He kinda worships exit polls, don't fuck with the man's reality :mrgreen:

I'm not trying to change anyone's mind, I just thought it was an interesting piece about a somewhat controversial aspect of polling.

It's not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes...

Thanks for the concern, Comrade BURBS. No worries though, the old heart, and everything else, is still plenty strong 8)

Actually a pretty good article, chef. The lad over at 538 is sharp and his points all make a lot of sense. Does go against everything else I've been reading though. I'll just say it matters who's doing the polls and how well.
CNN, MSNBC and FOX used them to make projections tonight and I'm looking forward to seeing how well they matched the actual vote.

Oh, and HUZZAH FOR AMERICA! HUZZAH FOR OBAMA! Now get busy, you skinny little centrist..... :wink:
