Note to Talking Heads: Stop Citing the Recall Exit Polls!
Weekley Standard ^ | 6-5-12 | Jay Cost

Posted on 06/05/2012 9:08:26 PM PDT by GR_Jr.

The early draft of the exit polls this morning showed a 50-50 tie in the Wisconsin recall race. It's still early, but the best bet is that Scott Walker meets or exceeds his margins relative to 2010, which points to a 5-point win or better. This suggests that the early draft of the exit polls were biased toward the Democrats. Nevertheless, channel surfing across CNN and MSNBC just now, I notice talking head after talking head citing the exit polls in some way.

Stop it.

Clearly, they were wrong and they need to be updated. Until then, stick to the raw vote. Goodness gracious!

Note to talking heads, quit shoving the RINO ROMNEY down my throat. I will not vote for a man who approves of killing the Unborn. I have to stand before my GOD and explain why I drank the former grand old party’s koolaid, which is just as bad as the DEMONCRATS koolaid.

You mistake voting for declaring your ethics or something. You are confused. Voting has nothing to do with principles. It is solely a political act to influence an outcome one way or the other.

If you vote for anybody but the Republican this November (or if you fail to vote), you will have chosen to reelect the President. That would be a bad outcome.

I never give the correct answer to these media polls. I don’t like nosy people I guess.

Then you don’t read enough on the Founding Fathers. They would not have settled for the lesser of 2 evils.
