All the "insider" stuff we heard FR the week before the election was BS (What gives?)
Vanity | 11/5/08 | Vanity

What is some of the erroneous stuff people were posting?:

1) The PUMA's would come out in droves.

2) The early election numbers were great because they were mostly Democratic but McCain was still close.

3) Jim Gherrety from NRO says early Neveda numbers mean it's in the bag.

4) Early numbers show hispanics are lukewarm in supporting Obama.

5) Conservatives don't tell exit pollers the truth.

6) Conservatives shun pre-election polls.

7) Polls are LOL oversampling Dems.

8) Polls will tighten by Monday so pollsters don't get egg on their faces.

9) Document from Democrates found on a hotel printer shows they are very worried about PA.

That Zogby poll Friday night which showed McCain with a lead said:

1) Young people were breaking hard too McCain

2) Old people were breaking hard too Obama

Don’t forget the McCain camp ‘internals’ that were discussed on the Quinn & Rose show that indicated that they were up like 15 in PA and tied in CA.

all those things were probably true.....what we didn't realize is that conservative Republicans were voting for hussien....at least they said they were conservative....

its tough being conservative....all those principles and all ....its easier just to vote the popular vote and be done with it..../sarcasm/

That inside stuff is almost always BS, or half true.

When you perceive yourself to be ‘behind’ you look for any good news you can get and it makes you more likely to swallow BS, even when you probably know it is. lol

1) Rush says on Friday that he’s feels stuff is really starting to flow our way going into the weekend. “I think we’re going to win this folks”, or words to that affect.

2) All those operation chaos people are inflating the Dem numbers.

I knew the PUMAs were unreliable skanks; who exactly “forgot” that Hillary worshipped at the altar of Alinsky while Obie was still memorizing the Koran in the South Pacific?

Lo, and behold...

Always take “inside info” with a grain of salt.

We fall for this crap every time, year after year. We believe because we want to believe.

Anytime you hear “inside information”, be sure you are being played for a sucker. You are being fed exactly the info that _someone_ wants you to have.

Real inside information stays inside....period.
