I know it's probably not Zogbey, who was once the Gold Standard of exit polling
.. as I think he was thrown under the bus to "elect" Bush the Lesser.

More proof of what Mr. Carlin said about it being a big club and you ain't a member.

It it is done right, 2000 respondents is a large enough sample to predict the final result.

But then the question is, why did the exit polls not match the results for Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004?

Could have a few let's say interests as to who might profit from claims of CBS's claim of improprieties. All of a sudden there is a viable 'real Catholic' in the race. Newt may claim to be a convert but with his previous 2 divorces not recognized by the Church he is a double bigamist.

I've taken several college level stats classes and can say for certain that a claim such as CBS's could be based upon good science. I'd need to see their methodology but I'd say that the claim of the video, that the election was known in advance, is WAY, WAY out there.

BTW, using the above link, I get the following URL transfer;


http://www.mostholyfamilymonastery.com/

Some of the more intellectual and thought provoking articles on this site include;

Yoga is prevalent in the Novus Ordo/Vatican II Church. What's wrong with it?

Can one passively attend non-Catholic funerals, weddings? No.

Quickly Proving that Islam is a False Religion

Is Masturbation a Mortal Sin? Yes.

Now that's funny!

Another BTW; this site is not exactly of the Catholic Church. It lists all 'intellectual property' as belonging to a "Bro. Michael Dimond, Bro. Peter Dimond or both."

"preliminary" when he said they were saying Newt won South Carolina. Someone needs to take their blinder off and really listen to the commentary in the video.

The one thing you can say about South Carolina is the demographics in the state are well defined which would make exit polling extremely reliable. Everyone predicted that Mitt would have difficulty in South Carolina because of his religion and he was being portrayed, at best, as a moderate. South Carolinians are so far to the right and "Christian" it makes their heads spin when they see someone who is labeled a moderate, let alone a Mormon.

It would not be voter fraud, it would be election fraud. From this video the voters are not fraudulent but the election officials would be in collusion to rig the election. Good grief!

The group making this video is nothing more than conspiracy theorists. This video should be dismissed.
