Wann see a nut?
Democratic Underground much, Greg?
I know you don’t want to hear it. You can’t face one more hung chad. But I don’t have a choice. As a journalist examining that messy sausage called American democracy, it’s my job to tell you who got the most votes in the deciding states. Tuesday, in Ohio and New Mexico, it was John Kerry.
Most voters in Ohio thought they were voting for Kerry. CNN’s exit poll showed Kerry beating Bush among Ohio women by 53% to 47%. Kerry also defeated Bush among Ohio’s male voters 51% to 49%. Unless a third gender voted in Ohio, Kerry took the state.
Exit polls. The guy is actually claiming election results based on exit polls. Like the numbers can be trusted.
Anyone who ever thought Greg Palast had credibility was sadly, sadly mistaken. And can we finally put the usefulness of polls to bed now? Polls is polls as the saying goes, which is to say polls is suck-ass wastes of time.

As a democrat I agree with the comments… arguments like this make the rest of us democrats look bad.

Folks, while I’m not one to go on conspiracy theories, there were many shenanigans taking place by republicans in Ohio, New Mexico and Florida leading up to the election. Hanging chads, spoilage, republican challengers, and widespread intimidation. These are facts and are not contested. What is contested is that this somehow had a substantial effect on the outcome of the election. How you feel about that is your opinion, not a fact. Why is it not a fact? Because those Republicans who conducted the shenanigans in the first place are also in a position to not disclose any real data about what they did. They have decided that you and I should not know the truth about that.
As people who value a free democratic process (my assumption, sorry), you should reject these tactics whether they helped your candidate or the other. And don’t write these allegations off as bullshit when the truth is, you really don’t know.

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but, aren’t the elections conducted inside the polls? I didn’t realize I was supposed to cast my vote with the CNN rep 75 feet from the booth. Damn confusing ballots. It didn’t say anything about that on there.
