The American Spectator has posted an article and link to a report (PDF) by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International, the two major exit-polling organizations involved in the 2 November US election. It says, in part, that “leakers” and “nefarious bloggers” were not to blame for inaccurate exit polling data, but poorly trained “liberal activists” acting as pollsters.

Yet another “explanation” with the exact same fatal flaw. Anyone can make up plausible sounding fiction to support any position they like, but it automatically qualifies for the bullshit-bin unless it at least claims to explain how this year was any DIFFERENT than previous years. If there were some problem with “liberal-biased pollsters”, then why haven’t we seen the effect in previous years? Are they claiming that this year all of the polling professionals went collectively berzerk and abandoned decades of expertise and accurate methodology? That they just woke up one morning and decided “Heay, this year lets fire all the conservative pollsters! This time we’ll just use a bunch of hippie college students!”?
