The broader issue is: 1.) There were multiple polling companies that conducted exit polls including teams from both campaigns. 2.) We don't know what caused the anomaly. I'm not convinced of anything yet because I don't think we have enough data to conclusively say anything, and that's the problem, that's the broader issue: that we don't know conclusively. I'm not able to write it off as, "oh well, the system's messy". If that's the case why not just call in the President like an American Idol contestant? Why have any standards? Let's just write it all off as "democracy's messy" and leave it at that. And therein lies the problem: mediocrity. If mediocrity is good enough for the majority, even when it comes to democracy, then we don't deserve democracy. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:135869 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
