The most mystifying thing to me is...if the exit polls were bogus (as they most certainly were!!) why does everyone keep quoting them? Who knows what really motivated anyone, we don't have any truthful data. Or are there other exit polls that were done beyond the AP ones?
I believe the bogus exit polls were the FIRST ones released. They were leaked. The data was skewed. I think the final one was alot closer to the actual results.
