Mitofsky's reputation ISN'T THERE.

He "always" gets it wrong!

So, the networks MUST BE DOING CHARITY with the old guy, I mean giving away MILLIONS to buy crap?

I'm opening my polling firm next month, guys!

Shht, don't even mention that THE EXIT POLLS WERE VERY RELIABLE BEFORE "*" FIRST SELECTION IN 2000.

Let's not talk about it.

"Move on..."

"Think in the future of the party..."

1. Hi Raul!
:hi: I've been wondering......Do you suppose Mitofskys previous exit polls are available anywhere? I know that he has been used by countries around the world. I bet that they are all within 1-1.5%!!

3. The man is paid by the six biggest media in the land.
If he doesn't cooperate with them, he loses the gig.

He cooperates with them by stonewalling and refusing to give out locations of polls, and other specifics of how the polling was done.

He also refuses to give out the raw polling results, before they were sludged with the tallies to make them more consistent late on November 2.

There is no transparency in his operation -- you can't see it, you can't verify it, you can't replicate it. The process is not observable.

Were the exit polls more accurate than the purported tallies?

I wish I knew. Neither process -- voting, or exit polling by Mitofsky -- is observable, verifiable, transparent, repeatable, or non-partisan (his employers, the big corporate media, favor Bush).

Post Mitofsky's background in detail, and you be the judge.
