"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
2004: Only 53% of voters participated in exit polls. In many states, pollsters needed to be 50' away from polling place entrance. (50' provides a lot of room to get away from pollsters.).) And ~50% of the pollsters were <34. Skewed sample.
(From a 2005 report cited in *Understanding Scientific Reasoning, 5th ed." (2006) which was co-authored by the guy who's in my kitchen fixing supper and not watching tv. Wait. That's a lie. I hear Big Bang.)

Pay no attention to exit polls.
