[lbo-talk] No, actually, I don't believe it.

Sorry for the bad citing. As I said, I hadn't saved the original screen shot, so maybe I was mixing it up with some other exit poll. Although I certainly can't guess which one, as it was Ohio I had been tracking. It was one of those weird "What the hell, I could have sworn..." moments.

I saw later that Yoshie had sent the URL for the poll

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/OH/P/00/index.html

so chances are others here have seen it, too, and can debunk what could be the actions of my aging brain. Basically, I remember the pie charts showing a solid female vote going to Kerry (something in the 53-54% rang) with very weak male support for Bush (that pie chart I remember as even or almost even), with the majority of all respondents being women, giving what seemed like good news to Kerry. Almost a flip of the current pie charts (the two on the left).

So if anyone has these data from earlier in the evening, debunk/confirm away.

Not that it matters, I guess. Just heard that Kerry is conceding... If he is in fact overlooking improprieties "for the good of the country" he should be beaten to death with a stick, even if he's obviously in a lot worse shape than Gore was in 2000...
