Ok, HOW can the exit polls be SOOO wrong?

[Grown2Hate]

I mean, maybe this lead won't hold up, but it's been CONSISTENTLY over 15 percentage points since EARLY on, and we're at nearly 60% of precincts reporting. I thought the exit polls had is at 50/50, or with Walker by 4% at the MOST? What in the FLYING fuck? Going to have to FIGHT our ASSES OFF in November, people.

1. I still say the lead won't hold up as well.

However, there is a tendency for the exit polls to understate Republican strength for the simple reason of Republicans refusing to answer them. Mostly out of paranoia and sheer stubbornness.

My personal guess is that this will end up Walker by 7 or 8 once everything's done.

2. HONEY, THIS IS BULLSHIT!

Sit back and watch the shit hit the fan any minute now.

3. I still think Rove and the GOP used the fact that Republicans are reluctant responders to make

the democrats look good for a win in 2004, slowing down the democrats from going to the polls and lighting a fire under the Republicans on that day. Perhaps they were getting supporters to lie to exit pollsters today in an attempt to do the same thing. Except that news organizations will not touch exit polls with a ten foot pole till the polls close.

4. The exit polls weren't bought and paid for.

The official tally, on the other hand ...

5. it appears the turnout was huge..... for Walker..

Walker is beating his last election results in every county....

6. They won't be off that much when all is said and done.

Walker will win, we can't overcome the current deficit but it will tighten quite a lot, the vast majority of results right now are rural and suburban.
