What I would like to see happen for this election ->
International, independant exit pollers for all states.

I think the exit pollers that called Florida for Gore in 2000 were right on the money (though now - the network anchormen ( like Jennings) deny it and claim they were wrong!?!)

That way - if the election is stolen (BBV or whatever) we will know.

1. I would like to see Colin Powell resign in disgust at the way he has been
used and abused by these shameless whores, and come out in public and say what he has been rumored to have said in private:
"These people are fucking crazy."

That'd be nice.

3. I agree, however
I think that if this happens, you will immediately start seeing reports of the "inaccuracy" of exit polling, how it doesn't reflect the actual vote, etc...

But, I think it would be a great thing to have. At least something would look fishy if exit polling all over shows Kerry winning, then after some "irregularities" we find that Bush is awarded a win.

4. "the "inaccuracy" of exit polling"
yes - that is exactly what "they" say about Florida and nobody has successfully called them on it. IOW - that is the conventionally accepted "wisdom" by people who get their info from the mainstream media.

I expect that the Republicans would resist an attempt to have independent exit pollers because they wouldn't want to risk being called on their shit.

5. I actually think it would be hard to
find any international independent exit pollsters who would be unbiased. Nobody likes the shrub.
