13. Good God his "mea culpa" was all over the place
It's hard to believe someone that says all the standard crap and then says the exit polls were wrong/no right/no wrong no I was wrong.

Huh?

First, President George W. Bush was not posting solid re-elect numbers. Indeed, the last three Presidents who ran for re-election with numbers as low as his – Gerald Ford in 1976, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George H.W. Bush in 1992 – all lost. Surprising to me, and rather significantly, President Bush was just re-elected with a majority of the vote by an electorate that still gave him a negative job performance rating and felt the country was headed in the wrong direction.


And:
Lastly, Kerry just didn’t connect with voters. This isn’t just the obvious criticism about his personality. It is metaphoric of the entire Democratic Party which simply doesn’t understand the religiosity of most Americans, the needs of the heartland that go well beyond bread and butter. How else to explain the many voters who told us that they have been left behind by the economy and still voted for the incumbent?

And the clincher. Blame the kids.
Because I have polled so successfully in presidential races in the past, I felt compelled to poll as late as I could and thought I saw a late-breaking trend for Kerry. Such a trend – fueled by a surge of young voters that was reported to us in our many calls to battleground cities on election day – did not materialize.

(Everybody bitched about the kids around DU for a few days until they found out they did have much higher vote numbers)

Okay so it was the Religion, stupid. Just like the exit polls say. Which Olbermann also disputed.

Propaganda is flying everywhere, they don't even know it's propaganda anymore.
