Leaked Exit Poll Data

[Ronin]

But Romney is already in first place in terms of delegates.

Exactly why he needs to lose. Especially since he'll probably take Nevada.

 

[jacmicwag]

Yea, exit polls will probably say 12% and Frank Luntz will get hold of the data and we'll end up with 1.5% of the vote.

 

[Ronin]

But the average voter has NO clue about delegates. They just care who won the states. The more it gets spread out - the better.

If we're rooting for a brokered convention it does matter.

 

[break4me]

The average voter doesn't even care about who wins states. All they "think" is what MSM is shoving down their throats to think. The MSM obsesses over who wins a state.

4th is not good enough

Agreed.

I'd really love 10%. Please tell me 10% of Americans have a brain. I could stave off major depression if that was true.

 

[freedom-maniac]

Well, we'll have to see. Is it just me, or would Paulites be more likely to talk to exit poller's than not?

Anyways, even giving us 4% less, Dr. Paul's still beating Thompson and Giuliani. That's good for us.

 

[RobotJaxxon]

(2) Paul might finally get double-digits (he technically got 9.96% in Iowa).

I see 3 digits.

I dare you to find a fair, single-digit representation of that number!

It also tells the GOP that 10% of voters could be gone come November

 

[Forefall]

If we do not beat Huckabee, I will be severely disappointed. We need to start beating Huckabee. For GOD SAKES we need to beat him. He is our #1 threat!

indeed.

Will exit pollers approach and poll people wearing Ron Paul Revolution shirts? I doubt it because it would be too easy to skew the results that way. My guess is that they avoid anyone who expresses an opinion one way or the other before being asked their selection.

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

It's better that Romney wins since he's no shoe-in anywhere else. If McCain wins he could steamroll through South Carolina (getting second at worst) and Florida before sweeping Super Tuesday. He's also stronger in a general election than Romney, given the "anti-war independents" who like him so much. Get ready for eight years of Bush Plus if McCain gets the nomination.

 

[break4me]

He's a shoe-in in Utah, right? I would think he can take Mass. too.

Huckabee has never been a threat.

The primary threat is Romney, secondary threats are McCain and Giuliani.

Huckabee is playing for a VP spot.

It would, but what would they do with that information? Send out a memo advising candidates to say "constitution" on a weekly basis?

I thought that before I started really investigating where the support lies. The clueless christian right (no offense to christians, or rights) will automatically vote for this guy, and that alone is enough to carry someone to a nomination.

 

[Naraku]

Romney beating McCain is good, even though Romney's ahead in delegates. That's because McCain would basically gain momentum with two straight victories, which is bad. This way it makes everything look divided which can be taken advantage of in Nevada and South Carolina. Beating Huckabee would be wonderful, but getting fourth is also good because CNN will actually show Paul's numbers in the pie for a change.

No it is not. And the Christian Right do not vote as an absolute block.

Huck is broke. He's been relying on the evangelicals for his GOTV effort. That block will move if he doesn't win SC.
