Well, seems like the US are not the only one to have shady elections with different results from Exit polls.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/11 ... index.html
Officials said that with 99.38 percent of precincts counted, Yanukovych had 49.42 percent to Yushchenko's 46.70 percent.
An exit poll, conducted under a Western-funded program, had given Yushchenko 54 percent of the vote to Yanukovych's 43 percent. Another poll put Yushchenko ahead by 49.4 to 45.9 percent.
Now someone go find the info that the US had observers there, found that claim in a danish newspaper, but not mentioned in this article

LOL
Exit polls are take by those who want to be polled, using them as a voting comparison is foolish.

Yush vs. Yanu. Best matchup sine Uma vs. Oprah.
The real loser in all this is Yanni who was scheduled to play at the winner's party.

This may need to be a poll but in my experience, Twat > Cunt when it comes to annoying women.

I polled my wife Winnow...and Cunt > Twat when it comes to the "degradation" factor according to her. But wtf does she know...she agreed to marry me...so she can't trusted with her judgement.

the only thing worse than a male chauvinist pig, is a woman that doesn't do what she's told.

Well, at least nice to see that even though you cant do an election on your own, you can still judge the rest of the worlds.

I can hear the arguments now:
Which canditate would this apply to?
I voted for the white pock-faced guy with thick greasy hair and bad teeth wearing a suit from 1987!!
hence the confusion.

Can we pls shut the fuck up about the exit polls in the US? Seriously, they were way off. No network was willing to use them, they KNEW they were off. Like in Pennsylvania (if I remember correctly) the exit polls said Kerry was winning 60-40- way off of course. The pre-polling done right before election day was pretty much accurate in every single state- so unless you're really imagining a HUGE fucking conspiracy, blindly citing the exit polls in the US as evidence of fraud makes no sense whatsoever.
Freedom of speech makes it much easier to spot the idiots.

So?

And the phrase is "case in point".
Did you mean "game, set and match"?
